How can we design better policies to tackle climate change? - Elizabeth Robinson (London School of Economics)
Done right, tackling climate change presents countries with a tremendous opportunity to improve health, wellbeing, and prosperity. In this talk Elizabeth Robinson will explore the extent to which environmental policy instruments (such as taxes, subsidies, regulations, and nudges) can align investment choices and individual behaviours with pathways to a resilient and equitable net zero world.
We are living in an alarming period of global warming. The series will show how past changes in greenhouse gases impacted our planet’s global climate, hydrological cycles, ice cover, and marine and terrestrial ecosystems. It will explore how understanding our geological past can contribute to potential physical and social solutions to mitigate extreme future events.
