Supporting passage from source
From heat-related illness and deaths to lost work hours and higher insurance and utility bills, climate change is already affecting California's economy. A new statewide report in California's Fifth Climate Change Assessment shows how the costs are rising, rippling across sectors and falling unevenly across the state—and in San Diego, the community is going to need to prepare for large-scale adaptation to much warmer conditions.
