Failing to tackle climate change could cost the world $1.7 trillion a year by 2050, according to 738 economists.
A recent survey shows that three-quarters of economists from around the world strongly agreed that drastic action should be taken immediately.
Two-thirds said the costs of investing toward that global goal of net-zero by 2050 would be outweighed by the economic benefits.

Failing to do so could cost the world some $1.7 trillion a year by the middle of this decade, escalating to about $30 trillion a year by 2075, according to estimations by the 738 economists from around the world surveyed by New York University’s Institute for Policy Integrity.
