A new study led by UCL researchers reveals that global GDP loss from climate change will increase exponentially as the planet gets warmer, especially when considering its impact on global supply chains. The study highlights the previously unquantified disruptions in supply chains that will further worsen the economic losses caused by climate change. The projected net economic loss by 2060 is estimated to be between $3.75 trillion and $24.7 trillion, depending on carbon dioxide emissions.

, is the first to chart"indirect economic losses" from climate change on global supply chains that will affect regions that would have been less affected by projected warming temperatures. These previously unquantified disruptions in supply chains will further exacerbate projected economic losses due to climate change, bringing a projected net economic loss of between $3.75 trillion and $24.7 trillion in adjusted 2020 dollars by 2060, depending on how much carbon dioxide gets emitted. Senior author Professor Dabo Guan (UCL Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction) said:"These projected economic impacts are staggerin
