IFS event: Major Economic Challenges: Climate Change
14 September 2021, 3:00 pm–4:15 pm
"Climate change poses an existential threat. It will generate tremendous economic costs, jeopardize ecosystems and biodiversity, bring about social unrest, provoke wide scale migration, and create a resentment from poor and middle-income countries that might trigger wars or other forms of conflict. We have little time left to act." -The Major Future Economic Challenges
