TL;DR: In this article, the authors conduct a multiple model assessment on the combined effects of climate change and climate mitigation efforts on agricultural commodity prices, dietary energy availability and the population at risk of hunger.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore a new set of net-zero CO2 emissions scenarios with limited overshoot and show that upfront investments are needed in the near term for limiting temperature overshoot but that these would bring long-term economic gains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the economic cost of heat-related illness prevention through worker breaks associated with climate change under a wide range of climatic and socioeconomic conditions, and calculate the worktime reduction based on the recommendation of work/rest ratio and the estimated future wet bulb glove temperature, which is an index of heat stresses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that projected economic impacts are primarily attributed to variation in socioeconomic development and future emissions trajectories, rather than uncertainties in the climate response, and suggest that decisions on mitigation and development have a great influence in determining the economic impacts of climate change, regardless of the uncertainties in climate response.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered five key uncertainty factors and estimated macroeconomic impacts due to crop yield changes using a novel integrated assessment framework and found that their global impacts on the macroeconomic indicator value were 0.02-0.06% of GDP in 2100.
