$6 trillion dollars (2005 prices) is the difference in cost between climate damages and mitigation costs in 2050 (Kotz, et. al., 2024).
22% would be the reduction in per capita income in South Asia and Africa due to climate impacts, being the most affected regions (Kotz, et. al., 2024)
60% will be the income loss in 2100 if emissions continue at the current pace and the global average temperature exceeds 4°C (Kotz, et al., 2024).
