Abstract:

The Economics of Climate Change: Is tackling climate change a pro-growth strategy for California?" - a talk by Sir Nicholas Stern, head of the United Kingdom Government Economic Service and author of the highly regarded report, the "Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change." The College of Natural Resources at the University of California, Berkeley, is hosting the lecture, which is free and open to the public.

Stern will explain how inaction on climate change could lead to the kind of economic downturn that has not been seen since the Great Depression and the two world wars. He will also address investment in low carbon energy sources, issues of international competition and the importance of China and other emerging economies.
