"The economics of solar radiation management"
Massimo Tavoni and Gernot Wagner
EDF Economics Seminar
10:00-11:00 a.m. EDT, 18 April 2024

To stabilize our climate, it's possible that we might need to use solar geoengineering. How do we balance the benefits of geoengineering with the risks? How do we ensure cooperative outcomes between all countries? Join us for a seminar with Columbia Business School Professor, Gernot Wagner and the Director of the European Institute on Economics and the Environment, Massimo Tavoni, for a discussion of the economics of solar geoengineering.
