Roughly 12 percent of the annual GDP of lower income countries worldwide in 2050 could be at risk of loss due to exposure to climate hazards, in a slow transition scenario without adaptation measures. Extreme heat and water stress are forecast to have the biggest impact, at 4.7 and 3.2 percent, respectively. In contrast, in upper income countries, the same hazards would put less than one percent of the annual GDP at risk. Nevertheless, climate hazards would still put almost three percent of upper income countries' GDP at risk by 2050, in a no-adaptation scenario.
