abstract   bibtex   
Quanitifies the economic risks of climate change to the US economy and communicates them to the business sector using a standard risk-assessment approach to future climate change impacts and providing specific, local, actionable data for business and investors in both the private and public sectors. Discusses America's climate future–what is known, what comes next, and US climate projections; assessing the impact of America's changing climate–an evidence-based approach; agriculture, labor, health, crime, energy, and coastal communities; pricing climate risk–moving from impacts to economics, direct costs and benefits, macroeconomic effects, and valuing risk and inequality; unquantified impacts–what would be missed; water, forests, tourism, and national security; and insights for climate-risk management–mitigation and adaptation. Technical appendixes cover physical climate projections; climate impacts; detailed sectoral models; integrated economic analysis; and valuing risk and unequal impacts.
