Reviews

Ben Groom, London School of Economics:
Bringing together contributions from some of the world's foremost economic practitioners and theorists, this accessible book will be useful to both policy makers and academics wishing to understand the frontier of climate change economics and the possible future of climate policy around the globe.

Adrian Orr, governor, Reserve Bank of New Zealand, and CEO, New Zealand Superannuation Fund:
Whether you believe in the science or not or care about future generations or not, climate change is already affecting your welfare. Coping with the Climate Crisis demonstrates that the world is moving rapidly from identifying climate-change problems to implementing solutions. The authors articulate how our economies must evolve and our institutions strengthen in resolve and focus. A must-read for all consumers, investors, businesses, and policy makers globally—skeptical or otherwise.

Klaas Knot, president, De Nederlandsche Bank:
The Paris Agreement will only find its way into the history books if we manage to implement it. Coping with the Climate Crisis looks at precisely that topic, making the latest economic research on climate change user friendly for policy makers.
