The record-breaking wildfires and hurricanes of 2020 may not stand out as the worst catastrophes in a year defined by compounding crises. But these natural disasters are among the long list of physical climate hazards becoming more frequent and intense. Globally, natural disasters caused $210 billion in damages in 2020, $95 billion in the United States alone.

By 2100, climate change could cost the global economy hundreds of trillions of dollars.
