Recommendation

Since the turn of the 21st century, the planet has experienced some of the hottest years on record. The public is finally paying attention, and climate talks are gearing up – but is that enough? In this informative podcast, economists Andrew Steer and David Dollar look at how well the world is doing against the Paris agreement, and they discuss policies that governments and institutions are using to mitigate climate change. Relevant and current, this text is required reading for everyone who is concerned about climate change.

Take-Aways

  • The current global targets of the Paris Accord may be inadequate.
  • Governments can use economic policy to influence behavior.
  • Having an environmental conscience can be economically viable.
