This report provides an reassessment of the human and economic costs of the climate crisis. The reassessment is based on a wealth of the latest research and scientific work on climate change and the carbon economy. The main finding of this report is that climate change has already held back global development : it is already a significant cost to the world economy, while inaction on climate change can be considered a leading global cause of death.
