"The UK Government spent more than £100 billion supporting households through the 2022–2024 energy crisis. The paper finds that the capital required to build a clean energy system generating eight to 14 times current UK electricity output is less than the cost of that single crisis—and delivers a permanent productive asset rather than temporary fiscal relief."

"Losses are likely to be more acute in low-and middle-income countries. Many have already seen a 4-12% hit to their income, and this could exceed 20% by 2050. The Grantham Research Institute’s report states that the benefits of investment in climate adaptation projects typically exceed the spend by a rate of 4:1. The report emphasises the importance of investing now, not in the 2040s or 2050s." https://www.edie.net/report-climate-change-to-hammer-incomes-and-government-budgets/
