Overall, the IMF's
prediction for global growth of 3.1 % in 2016 remained subdued, with the institution citing the
uncertainty created by the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union (EU) and slower - than - expected US growth as restraining factors since its last set of forecasts in April.
Overall, the synopsis emphasized the positive effects of climate change over the negative, the
uncertainty surrounding
predictions of future change rather than the emerging consensus and the low end of harmful impact estimates rather than the high end.
