This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The year is 2023. The world is grappling with a multitude of crises, but one stands out as the defining challenge of our time: climate change. As global temperatures continue to rise, the earth’s ecosystems are under immense stress, and the economic consequences are becoming increasingly apparent. From devastating hurricanes and wildfires to prolonged droughts and rising sea levels, the effects of climate change are no longer theoretical. They are tangible, impacting our infrastructure, our livelihoods, and our financial security. This is not just a problem for future generations; it is a reality we are facing right now. The economic implications of climate change are vast and multifaceted. The insurance industry is grappling with rising premiums and escalating claims. The agricultural sector is struggling with reduced crop yields and food security challenges. The energy sector is undergoing a monumental shift, moving away from fossil fuels towards renewable sources.
