Climate change

• According to a report released at the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow the 65 most vulnerable nations will see GDP drop 20 per cent on average by 2050 and 64 per cent by 2100 if the world heats up 2.9 degrees Celsius.
• Even if global temperature rises are capped at 1.5C, in keeping with the most ambitious Paris Agreement goal, the same countries would take a GDP hit of 13 per cent by 2050 and 33 per cent by the end of the century.
• Affected countries are in Africa, with two in South America. All 10 faces GDP damage of more than 70 per cent by 2100 under our current climate policy trajectory, and 40 per cent even if global warming is capped at 1.5C. The country facing the worst GDP loss is Sudan, which in September was left reeling from heavy rains and flash floods affecting more than 300,000 people.
