Advancing public and private policymakers’ understanding of the complex interactions between climate change and the economy is critical to taking the most cost-effective action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change recently organized an expert workshop bringing together the environmental economics, impacts, vulnerability, and risk assessment communities. The goal was to identify insights about quantifying the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, to develop recommendations on the use of cost benefit analysis for climate policy, and to outline a research path to improve decision making tools over time.
