Summary
The report quantifies the risk of climate disasters to corporate fixed assets, predicting annual losses of $560 billion to $610 billion by 2035. It identifies extreme heat as the primary driver of these losses and warns that five major Earth systems are approaching irreversible tipping points. The document provides strategic recommendations for the agriculture, built environment, technology, health, and financial services sectors to enhance resilience and avoid systemic economic collapse.
Key insights
- Five critical Earth systems are approaching irreversible tipping points: the Greenland ice sheet, the West Antarctic ice sheet, warm-water coral reefs, the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), and Arctic permafrost. Crossing these thresholds could lead to catastrophic outcomes, such as a 10-meter sea-level rise or the release of massive amounts of carbon from permafrost.
