The economic case for tackling climate change now
The hazards brought about by global warming such as severe weather, surging sea levels, forest fires, and the melting of glaciers are becoming more apparent. However, there has been a lack of political determination to implement the necessary measures to prevent temperatures from exceeding the critical 2-degree Celsius mark, as deemed by scientists.
Irene Monasterolo has been invited by the Brookings Institution to take part in the virtual conference “The economic case for tackling climate change now”, which took place on March 6, 2023., together with:
