The COVID-19 crisis is likely to have dramatic consequences for progress on climate change. Imminent fiscal recovery packages could entrench or partly displace the current fossil-fuel-intensive economic system. Here, we survey 231 central bank officials, finance ministry and other experts from G20 countries relative performance of 25 major archetypes across four dimensions: speed implementation, multiplier, impact potential, overall desirability. We identify five policies with high potential...
As climate change research becomes increasingly applied, the need for actionable information is growing rapidly. A key aspect of this requirement representation uncertainties. The conventional approach to representing uncertainty in physical aspects probabilistic, based on ensembles model simulations. In face deep uncertainties, known limitations are becoming apparent. An alternative thus emerging which may be called a 'storyline' approach. We define storyline as physically self-consistent...
The natural science in GEO-6 makes clear that a range and variety of unwelcome outcomes for humanity, with potentially very significant impacts human health, become increasingly likely if societies maintain their current development paths. This paper assesses what is known about the economic implications either trends or transformation to low-carbon resource-efficient economy years 2050 which calls. A key conclusion no conventional cost-benefit analysis scenario possible. because final cost...
Drawing on the latest evidence from a range of disciplines, this joint University Cambridge and London School Economics Political Science (LSE) policy report aims to assist decision-makers in HM Treasury (HMT) beyond by offering constructive suggestions how help steer UK economy through transition, path that boosts productivity, incomes, employment, while maintaining healthy public finances sustainable debt. The asks fundamental questions: is reaching net zero growth prosperity plan? If so,...
Both the physical and transition-related impacts of climate change pose substantial macroeconomic risks. Yet, markets still lack credible estimates how will affect debt sustainability, sovereign creditworthiness public finances major economies. We present a taxonomy for tracing transition through to on risk. then apply UK’s potential net zero. Meeting internationally agreed targets require an unprecedented structural transformation global economy over next two or three decades. The changing...
Executive Summary The need to decarbonise the economy in order slow pace of climate change is now recognised as one most pressing international policy challenges. While UK cannot by itself materially affect global change, it has an opportunity play influential role, both persuading others for action but also reshaping its domestic benefit from a low-carbon transition. Far hampering competitiveness, adoption coordinated approach today would generate positive benefits economy, especially if...
Macroeconomic conditions make this a relatively favorable time to kick‐start investments necessary transition resource‐efficient economy. There is no lack of private money, just perceived opportunity. Resource costs are low and the potential crowd out alternative investment employment greatly reduced. It often argued that short‐term macroeconomic merit an investment, in terms what constitutes good economic stimulus, can be judged against established criteria. These include tests on whether...
