Forbes: Climate inaction is costing us $38 trillion annually.
"Even if CO2 emissions were to be drastically cut down starting today, the world economy is already committed to an income reduction of 19 % until 2050 due to climate change, according to a new study published in Nature. These damages are six times larger than the mitigation costs needed to limit global warming to two degrees."
