"Climate Change Damage Over Last 10 Years KRW 2,791 Trillion"

It has been analyzed that the economic damage caused by climate change over the past decade has amounted to $2 trillion and 2,791 trillion won in our money.

In a report released on the 10th, the International Chamber of Commerce said it was the result of evaluating the scale of financial losses and productivity decline caused by more than 4,000 abnormal climate phenomena in six continents of the world from 2014 to last year.

This amount of damage is equivalent to the damage of the global financial crisis in 2008.

More than 1.6 billion people in the world have been affected by climate events, and the scale of damage has increased rapidly every year, even within the survey period.

The damage in the two years 2022 and 2023 alone was $451 billion and our money was 629 trillion won, up 19% from the previous eight years.
