Executive Summary

This chapter assesses the implications of climate change on economic activity in key economic sectors and services, on economic welfare, and

on economic development.

For most economic sectors, the impact of climate change will be small relative to the impacts of other drivers (medium evidence,

high agreement). Changes in population, age, income, technology, relative prices, lifestyle, regulation, governance, and many other aspects of

socioeconomic development will have an impact on the supply and demand of economic goods and services that is large relative to the impact

of climate change. {10.10}

Climate change will reduce energy demand for heating and increase energy demand for cooling in the residential and commercial

sectors (robust evidence, high agreement); the balance of the two depends on the geographic, socioeconomic, and technological conditions.

Increasing income will allow people to regulate indoor temperatures to a comfort level that leads to fast growing energy demand for air

conditioning even in the absence of climate change in warm regions with low income levels at present. Energy demand will be influenced by

changes in demographics (upward by increasing population and decreasing average household size), lifestyles (upward by larger floor area of

dwellings), the design and heat insulation properties of the housing stock, the energy efficiency of heating/cooling devices, and the abundance

and energy efficiency of other electric household appliances. The relative importance of these drivers varies across regions and will change over

time. {10.2}

Climate change will affect different energy sources and technologies differently, depending on the resources (water flow, wind,

insolation), the technological processes (cooling), or the locations (coastal regions, floodplains) involved (robust evidence, high

agreement). Gradual changes in various climate attributes (temperature, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, etc.) and possible changes in the

frequency and intensity of extreme weather events will progressively affect operation over time. Climate-induced changes in the availability

and temperature of water for cooling are the main concern for thermal and nuclear power plants. Several options are available to cope with

reduced water availability but at higher cost; however, decreased efficiency
