"By 2080, climate change is expected to have a profound impact on the economies of Central Asian countries, with potential losses ranging from 20% to 130% of GDP. The projected economic impact varies across the region. Tajikistan could face losses of between 80% and 130% of GDP, Kyrgyzstan 70% to 120%, Kazakhstan 40% to 80%, Uzbekistan 30% to 45%, and Turkmenistan 20% to 60%." https://timesca.com/central-asias-climate-risks-could-cost-up-to-130-of-gdp-by-2080/

NOW, today: "While the authors examine only a subset of climate-related impacts, the evidence suggests that recent climate change now imposes an average cost between $400 and $900 per household annually depending on attribution assumptions, with the hardest-hit counties exceeding $1,300 per household. A central finding of the paper is that extreme weather events—not incremental warming—account for most household burdens today. " https://climate.mit.edu/posts/who-bears-burden-climate-inaction
