Climate change is a phenomenon that cannot be easily overcome and its different consequences for different countries need to be investigated. One of the macroeconomic consequences of climate change is economic growth. Based on this, the current research examines the effects of climate change on the economic growth of developing countries and developed countries. The statistical sample of the research includes ۳۰ developed countries (Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore, South Korea, Iceland, Macao, Sweden, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, America, England, Japan, New Zealand, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Austria, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, France, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Italy, Hong Kong, China and Greece) and ۳۰ developing countries (Cyprus, Poland, UAE, Andorra, Lithuania, Qatar, Slovakia, Malta, Saudi Arabia, Latvia, Portugal, Bahrain, Chile, Hungary, Croatia, Argentina, Oman, Russia, Malaysia, Bulgaria, Romania, Taiwan, Uruguay, Kuwait, Montenegro, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Peru, Brunei and Iran) during the period from ۲۰۰۰ to ۲۰۲۱. The current research is practical in terms of purpose and in terms of collecting documentary information. The method used in this research is quantitative using official data from international organizations. In the following, using the analytical method and using the econometric method of generalized moments of GMM, the relationship between the research variables is analyzed. The research findings showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between climate change and the economic growth of developing countries. It was also observed that there is a negative and significant relationship between climate change and the economic growth of developed countries. However, it can be seen that the negative impact of climate change is greater in developing countries than in developed countries.
