The Cost to Developing Countries of Adaptation to Climate Change: New Methods and Estimates - The Global Report of the Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change Study
Submitted by naomi.sleeper on Wed, 2010-08-04 20:39Summary:

This range is of the same order of magnitude as the foreign aid that developed countries now give developing countries each year, but it is still a very low percentage of the wealth of countries as measured by their gross domestic product (GDP).
