Addressing climate change will entail major challenges for economic growth, employment, inflation, and public finances. Mitigating the impact of global warming will yield benefits and costs that are yet to be quantified and defined for the global economy and for nations, workers, households, and companies. The Green Frontier: Assessing the Economic Implications of Climate Action offers research originally presented at a major conference at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in June 2023 in Washington, DC, organised to shed light on this still unexplored field of study and recommend policies for the future.
Jean Pisani-Ferry is Professor of Economics at Sciences Po, Paris, a Senior Fellow at Bruegel, the European think tank, and a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute in Washington, DC.
Adam S. Posen is president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
"This book presents thoughtful essays on the macroeconomic effects of economic policies that seek to mitigate global warming and reach the Paris agreement's target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050."
