The impact of climate change on the global economy
... Higher energy costs are also likely to boost inflation. As our climate becomes more extreme we are likely to demand greater energy to both cool our working and living environments during the summer, and heat them when we experience harsher winters. Not only will energy demand change, but supply may ...
