New Report: Costs of Climate Change

report coverThe NRT is proud to release its latest groundbreaking report as part of its Climate Prosperity series. Paying the Price: The Economic Impacts of Climate Change for Canada, is the first national-level study to assess the costs of growing climate change in our country and what it could mean to people, places, and prosperity.

Little attention had been paid to the costs of inaction on global climate change and what this could mean to Canada economically as greenhouse gas emissions rise and climate change plays out. No nationally-focused economic study existed, until now. We found that climate change has a real and growing price tag to Canada and it could be expensive. Please read our report and see for yourself.
