Rising sea levels and decreasing labour productivity would drive the most significant losses, with lower-income and fragile economies being hit the hardest, it said. The new research, presented in the inaugural issue of ADB's "Asia-Pacific Climate Report", details a series of damaging impacts threatening the region. It says that if climate crisis continues to accelerate, up to 300 million people in region could be at risk from coastal inundation, and trillions of dollars' worth of coastal assets could face annual damage by 2070."Climate change has supercharged the devastation from tropical storms, heat waves, and floods in the region, contributing to unprecedented economic challenges and human suffering," said ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa.Urgent, well-coordinated climate action addressing these impacts is necessary before it is too late, he said. This climate report provides insights into financing urgent adaptation needs and offers promising policy recommendations to governments in our developing member countries on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the lowest cost, he added.By 2070, climate change under a high-end emissions scenario could cause a total loss of 16.9 per cent of GDP across the Asia and Pacific region. Most of the region would face more than 20 percent loss.

India faces 24.7% GDP loss by 2070 due to climate change, says ADB report
