Welcome back to ECON-versations with NABE! This episode is a webinar replay from the June 22, 2023 webinar, Climate Crisis Economics, presented by the NABE Climate Economics & Finance Roundtable.
The urgent essential race to net-zero is a race of tipping points between looming climate shifts of no return driven by rising GHG emissions and competing industrial strategies designed to support, accelerate, and multiply the linked pathways to a sustainable future. This webinar will highlight the challenges still ahead and discuss how just as climate change happens slowly then fast, so too can policy, firms, and our economies shift suddenly with the right incentives, disincentives, regulations and market responses.
Speakers:
Stuart Mackintosh, CBE, Executive Director, The Group of Thirty; Chair, NABE Climate Economics & Finance Roundtable
Michael Strain, Director of Economic Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute
