Tid och plats
Tisdag 8 december 2020, 16:00–17:00
In chapter 3 of the World Economic Outlook, published in October 2020, the IMF states that without further action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the planet is on course to reach temperatures not seen in millions of years, with potentially catastrophic implications. Chapter 3 analyzes climate mitigation strategies with the potential to put the global economy on a stronger, as well as more sustainable, footing. What are the climate policy tools and what mix of measures is desirable? How can those most negatively affected by the measures proposed be compensated? Are there employment-friendly mitigation policies?
These and related issues will be discussed at a webinar on December 8 arranged in collaboration between the International Monetary Fund (IMF), The Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) and SNS. Florence Jaumotte, the lead author of chapter 3, will present its main findings and John Hassler, professor at the IIES, will comment and join the panel discussion.
