مستخلص: The article titled "Slow Burn: The Hidden Costs of a Warming World" discusses the importance of policymakers focusing on adapting to climate change in addition to mitigating it. It highlights the lack of knowledge about protecting the global economy from climate change impacts and emphasizes climate justice, with poorer countries being more vulnerable. The article explores cost-effective adaptation options and hidden determinants of climate vulnerability, particularly for subsistence farmers in the developing world. It also discusses the impact of social and economic institutions on agricultural adaptation, the effects of rainfall shocks on educational outcomes in rural India, and the vulnerability of informal workers to climate shocks. The article emphasizes the need for better labor market regulations, the impact of climate change on gender inequality, and the importance of coordinated global efforts to fill gaps in the adaptation marketplace. It suggests that philanthropists like Bill Gates may play a role in facilitating climate adaptation and incentivizing innovation. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding how climate change affects the poor and prioritizing adaptation solutions. [Extracted from the article]
