A pesar de los recortes de emisiones, es probable que el costo de la adaptación al cambio climático duplique o triplique las estimaciones actuales, de entre 70.000 y 100.000 millones de dólares al año

Even if global greenhouse gas emissions are cut to the level required to keep global temperature rise below 2°C this century, the cost of adapting to climate change in developing countries is likely to reach two to three times the previous estimates of $70-100 billion per year by 2050, according to a new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report.
