Don't forget, the impact of climate change is not only dangerous to the life of living beings, but also raise the cost of finance
"The increasing frequency of occurrence of a disaster, causing a financial burden for poor countries. This is because 90 percent of their debt used to finance the restoration of the disaster, "explains Pachauri.
But he is optimistic that many impacts can be avoided, reduced or postponed. It is within reach with reduced exhaust emissions.
One way that can be done to stabilize the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere, can be done with slow economic growth 0.12 percent per year. However these costs will be offset by an increase in health, energy supplies as well as greater food supply safer.
