For most economic sectors, the impact of climate change will be small relative to the impacts of other drivers (medium evidence, high agreement). Changes in population, age, income, technology, relative prices, lifestyle, regulation, governance, and many other aspects of socioeconomic development will have an impact on the supply and demand of economic goods and services that is large relative to the impact of climate change.

—Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Working Group 2, Fifth Assessment Report, Chapter 10, Key economic sectors and services, page 662
