1818 Economics Thematic Group presents a “Hard Talk” session on Climate and Development: Is There a Tradeoff?
Panelists:
- Homi Kharas, Brookings Institution
- Vijaya Ramachandran, Breakthrough Institute
- Vinod Thomas, Asian Institute of Management
Host: Shanta Devarajan, Georgetown University
Developing countries are the hardest hit by the effects of climate change and need to be part of the global effort to mitigate carbon emissions. These same countries are trying to increase economic growth and make it more inclusive. Are efforts to adapt to climate change complements or substitutes for development? Will the transition to clean energy slow down or accelerate economic development?
Please join three distinguished panelists for a lively, no-holds-barred discussion on these critical issues.
To attend in person (MC C2-125), please RSVP.
