“The True Cost of Carbon”
Wesleyan University College of the Environment Think Tank
What we know about climate change is bad, and should have prompted us to act a long time ago. What we don’t know is potentially much worse. NYU climate economist Gernot Wagner will discuss what we know, what we don’t, and the implications for US and global climate policy.
Gernot Wagner teaches climate economics and policy at New York University, writes the Risky Climate column for Bloomberg Green, and is the author, among others, of Climate Shock (Princeton, with Martin Weitzman) and, most recently, of Geoengineering: the Gamble (Polity, 2021).
