This graph serves as a critical tool for policymakers, researchers, and the public alike, offering a visual narrative of the evolving landscape of climate-related challenges. The IMF dataset, accessible at https://climatedata.imf.org, ensures the reliability of the information, fostering a deeper understanding of the urgent need for global climate action. The increasing frequency of these events emphasizes the imperative of adopting resilient strategies and international cooperation to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change.
Potential National Income Loss From Climate Risks
The graph highlights how different climate policies influence potential national income losses globally over the period from 2023 to 2050. The orderly transition to Net Zero by 2050 seems to mitigate losses compared to disorderly transition scenarios or maintaining current policies. Information is based on the GCAM model and NGFS methodology.
More info about the data
Description:
The graph illustrates the percentages of potential national income loss due to climate risks worldwide, using the GCAM model. The predictions span from 2023 to 2050, providing insights into three scenarios: Delayed Transition (Disorderly scenario), Net Zero 2050 (Orderly scenario), and Current Policies (Hot house world scenario). The variable considered is "Potential National Income Loss From Climate Risks."
Key Points:
- Delayed Transition Scenario (Disorderly): Displays the negative percentages of national income loss due to climate risks in a scenario characterized by disorderly transitions.
- Net Zero 2050 Scenario (Orderly): Represents the negative percentages of national income loss, but in a context of orderly climate transitions, aiming for Net Zero by 2050.
- Current Policies Scenario (Hot House World): Indicates the negative percentages of national income loss in a world with current climate policies ("Hot House World").
Additional Considerations:
The temporal axis on the X-axis provides a view of change over time, allowing an assessment of the evolution of potential national income losses. The Y-axis reflects the economic impact in percentage terms, offering a clear understanding of the financial consequences globally. The graphical representation of this information is crucial for effectively communicating projections of potential income losses due to climate risks and different climate policy scenarios.
Potential National Income Benefit From Avoided Climate Damages
The graph emphasizes how the adoption of more robust climate policies can lead to significant benefits in national income by avoiding climate damages. Information is based on the GCAM model and NGFS methodology, covering the period from 2023 to 2050.
The representation offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between climate policies, economic losses, and benefits on a global scale
