Climate vulnerability monitor: a guide to the cold calculus of a hot planet

This report provides a 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, research that is assimilated as a part of this report. 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.
