The Economic Impacts of Climate Change in Montana

Recently (Fall of 2023) Power Consulting Inc. released a report that detailed the potential economic impacts of climate change in Montana. The report was sponsored by the Montana Wildlife Federation and was recently covered in the Missoula Current, the Missoulian, and the Billings Gazette. This was an update of a report that we initially produced in 2015. Since 2015 the science has become much more clear and much more Montana specific, even if some of the sectors to the economy have actually become a little more obscure do to data disclosure problems. We strive to incorporate the most up to date science with the more relevant economic data that we can to produce a report that is not alarmist, and instead should be eye opening. Climate change is here and it is impacting Montana. Read the report! Or, at least, read the news stories and look at the graphics from MWF.
