“Covid, Ukraine, and Climate”
20 June 2022, 17:30-19:30 (CET)
Istituto di studi Economici e per l’Occupazione (ISEO) Summer School
In this talk, climate economist Gernot Wagner will focus on systemic risks like the Covid-19 pandemic and draw parallels to unmitigated climate change. Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine are both examples of negative surprise events. Climate change, too, is beset with risks, uncertainties, and large-scale tipping point — with an important twist. For climate change, the world is in a race between negative climatic and positive socio-economic tipping points, driven by massive advances in low-carbon, high-efficiency technologies.
