Rising global temperatures are accelerating inflation and will likely push the cost of food, goods and services higher for years to come, researchers warned Thursday, the latest example of how the climate crisis is affecting human health and the economy as the costs of adapting to a warming world grow.Key Facts
Climate change could drive the cost of food up by as much as 3.2 percentage points a year, said the peer reviewed report, which was published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment. While the above figures consider inflation in the context of the worst-case, highest emissions scenario—where little has been done to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions coming from human activity that are driving climate change—the researchers said climate change will push inflation up even under even the best-case emissions scenario, with overall inflation rising an average of 0.3 percentage points and food inflation 0.9 percentage points each year through 2035.
