McKinsey: Climate Risk & Response

Charlottesville

July 11, 2022

This report is reference in the McKinsey report that I just posted a link to. As referenced in the previous report:

Adapting to climate change is critical because, as a recent McKinsey Global Institute report shows, with further warming unavoidable over the next decade, the risk of physical hazards and nonlinear, socioeconomic jolts is rising.

Mitigating climate change through decarbonization represents the other half of the challenge. Scientists estimate that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would reduce the odds of initiating the most dangerous and irreversible effects of climate change.

This report takes some effort to get through. I have read it once — I now need to go back through it again!
