Budgetary Effects of Climate Change and of Potential Legislative Responses to It
Congressional Budget Office
No 57019, Reports from Congressional Budget Office
Abstract:
In this report, CBO identifies the primary channels by which climate change affects the federal budget. The report also outlines how policies intended to mitigate climate change or adapt to its effects could affect the budget. CBO currently has no basis for estimating the extent to which the up-front costs of such policies might lead to future budgetary savings, because many of the linkages between climate change and the federal budget require additional information and analysis.
