As with any change, climate and its mitigation will hit the most vulnerable the hardest. Economists’ estimates of the impact of climate change are often a fraction of those of scientists, at least partly because economists presume smooth adjustment paths. If the global healthcare sector were a country, it would be the fifth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. But global investment has already been soft, and commodity investment in the last five years is the weakest in at least two decades. While progress can be hard to observe, more than 80% of global GDP has a net-zero target.
