The common estimates for total switch to net-zero are 100-200% of GDP which for the US is 27-54 trillion.

The most common idea is to spend 3-5% of GDP per year for the transition (750-1250 bn USD per year for the US) over the next 30 years. Certainly a significant sum, but also not too much to shoulder.



It’s also cheaper than dealing with the exponentially increasing costs of climate adaptation.
