New Thinking about Economic Challenges in the Design and Implementation of Programs to Stabilize the Climate

The purpose of the purposed workshop is to assemble a selection young economists whose research has featured new thinking on challenging theoretical and empirical questions bearing on the design and implementation of practical and economically efficient programs aimed at stabilizing the rise in radiative forcing due to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the Earth’s atmosphere. Focused attention to answering these questions potentially could make important contributions to securing and open path to sustainable development and global economic growth – while we still have time.
