Climate change to cost Germany up to 900 billion euros by 2050 - study

The costs include loss of agricultural yields, damage or destruction of buildings and infrastructure due to heavy rain and flooding, impairment of goods transportation and impact on the health system.

The study did not account for non-financial damage such as health impairments, deaths from heat and floods and loss in biodiversity. Climate change extreme weather events have already cost Germany at least 145 billion euros between 2000 and 2021, 80 billion of which were in the past five years only, including the 2021 floods in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia, the economy ministry said.

Possible damage costs could be reduced completely through climate adaptation measures such as carbon storing if climate change was only mild, the study found, adding that around 60% to 80% of costs could be spared under such measures depending on how strongly climate would change. The study did not mention how much climate adaptation measures could cost the federal and state governments.
