Various studies exist for Switzerland which generally focus on specific sub-areas. They include, for example, the impacts of climate change on infrastructure, healthcare costs or economic productivity. Some studies evaluate the costs of climate change at macroeconomic level. The existing studies show that the costs of not taking action - i.e. the costs of unchecked global warming - for Switzerland will reach an annual amount of up to four per cent of GDP by 2050.00 If the development of GDP according to EP2050+ is taken as an approximate basis, these costs will amount to around CHF 38 billion. According to these estimates, annual costs of around one billion francs will be incurred on infrastructure from 2050 and annual costs of up to 11 billion francs in healthcare from 2060. If global efforts succeed in restricting climate change in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, the costs will be much lower. In this case, the annual costs in 2050 would amount to a maximum of 1.5 per cent of GDP which equates to around 14 billion francs. This means the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero would stand at 2.5 per cent of GDP a year. This is roughly 20 to 30 billion francs. The figures available today on the costs of climate change should be regarded as conservative estimates. This is mainly due to a lack of comprehensive cost calculations that take account of all climate impacts. The actual costs of climate change - and so too the benefits of comprehensive reduction of greenhouse gas emissions - may be significantly higher.
