With V20 countries representing unique study into the recent economic loss some of the fastest -growing economies in and damage suffered by the world’s most the world, the future of the World Economy climate vulnerable economies – the could be severely impaired with worsening members of the Vulnerable Twenty (V20) issues of poverty, food and physical security Group and Climate Vulnerable Forum (CV. [...] nature of the optimum temperature, adapting to climate change, which entails The above figure (Figure 2) provides the moving up the optimum temperature to fill distance between the median temperature the gap and follow increasing temperature observed in the 2000-2019 period and the will require most likely unprecedented levels median optimum temperature1 for all V20 of investments in all infrastru. [...] The main expected mechanism, at the national, regional or improvements relate to the level of international level that would support uncertainties associated with the countries in the aftermath of climate-related calibration and therefore definition of disasters - in line with the on-going optimum temperature and associated negotiations on loss and damage at the losses. [...] CONCLUSIONS Even though the results are preliminary, these are strong reminders of: (1) the urgency of acting on climate change with stringent mitigation measures in line with The results presented in this study are the objective of the Paris Agreement of preliminary and will be consolidated in the keeping global mean temperature increase course of 2022 in the lead up to the below 1.5°C, (2) the n. [...] In some cases, particularly for countries with In a risk perspective, to also account for the lower temperature than the rest of the uncertainties associated with the Bayesian studied countries, the optimum temperature calibration, the analysis on the attribution of can be lower than the current temperature economic losses to climate change focuses observed in the country.
