What's inside?
Climate change is a growing threat to global GDP growth.
Recommendation
The need to combat climate change is urgent, especially among lower-income countries that suffer the worst impacts from severe weather. Economically, climate change is already affecting these nations and others, and it threatens to slow global GDP growth. To head off disaster, governments and the private sector will need to create environmental initiatives that also appeal to investors. This interview with IMF official Tao Zhang offers a timely recap of how countries can mitigate and adapt to a changing global climate. getAbstract recommends its sobering analysis to executives, law makers and anyone interested in the economic ramifications of this accelerating threat.
