- A rise in global temperatures
- A rise in global sea levels as polar caps are melting
- An increase in the number of extreme weather events, such as big hurricanes, more severe droughts, etc.
- Climate change will make some of the poor countries even more uninhabitable as a result of extremely high temperatures, water scarcity and/or extreme weather events
- These changes can lead to poor economic performance and political instability, even outright war
- Migration pressures to advanced economies might increase dramatically, which will only strengthen the populist tendencies we have observed in recent years.
- Protectionism and isolationism will become more appealing as a poltical strategy, but it will only make everybody worse off.
