Washington (USA) – The United States (US) has caused more than $10 trillion in global economic damage since 1990 through its greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study published in the journal Nature.
As the largest historical emitter of carbon dioxide, the US is responsible for about $10.2 trillion in cumulative climate-related economic damages worldwide through 2020, making it the biggest contributor to global losses linked to rising temperatures.
Around 30% of the economic damage linked to US emissions , roughly $2.97 trillion, occurred within the United States itself, while about 14% ($1.39 trillion) affected the European Union, the two regions that experienced the largest total GDP losses.
For India, the estimated damage from US emissions amounts to around $500 billion and for Brazil, about $330 billion, according to the research.
