In a new report, an international group of researchers warns that top-level policymakers have been receiving economic assessments of future climate-change impacts that largely omit some of the biggest physical risks. The researchers point to major potential problems that have been documented by scientists, but which they say are routinely excluded or downplayed by economists. The report was produced by Columbia University’s Earth Institute, Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and the United Kingdom’s Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.
