Global economic imp...From SPM page 19 (via idunno)<br /><br /><i>Global economic impacts from climate change are difficult to estimate. Economic impact estimates completed over the past 20 years vary in their coverage of subsets of economic sectors and depend on a large number of assumptions, many of which are disputable, and many estimates do not account for catastrophic changes, tipping points, and many other factors.59 With these recognized limitations, the incomplete estimates of global annual economic losses for additional temperature increases of ~2°C are between 0.2 and 2.0% of income (±1 standard deviation around the mean) (medium evidence, medium agreement). Losses are more likely than not to be greater, rather than smaller, than this range (limited evidence, high agreement).<br /><br />Additionally, there are large differences between and within countries. Losses accelerate with greater warming (limited evidence, high agreement), but few quantitative estimates have been completed for additional warming around 3°C or above. Estimates of the incremental economic impact of emitting carbon dioxide lie between a few dollars and several hundreds of dollars per tonne of carbon60 (robust evidence, medium agreement). Estimates vary strongly with the assumed damage function and discount rate.61</i><br /><br />From the Technical Summary page 32:<br /><br /><i>Global adaptation cost estimates are substantially greater than current adaptation funding and investment, particularly in developing countries, suggesting a funding gap and a growing adaptation deficit (medium confidence). The most recent global adaptation cost estimates suggest a range from 70 to 100 US$ billion per year in developing countries from 2010 to 2050 (low confidence). Important omissions and shortcomings in data and methods render these estimates highly preliminary (high confidence).

It is a strong document suggesting there'll be lots to explore in the full report. I wish I had a bit more time because there are lots of topics covered, each one worthy of a series of blog articles. <br /><br />It's quite different to what I remember the previous report to be - in style and the way it approaches the topics.
