About this event
• Accelerating the transition toward low or net-zero carbon emissions is necessary to keep global warming at theoretically safe levels.
• That will likely bring price shocks associated with rising metal prices, energy costs, and carbon taxes – what has been called “greenflation”.
• Greening the economy will also require public spending and redistributive policies.
• The “post-perfect-storm” world will carry energy security-related and geopolitical challenges on the road to decarbonization
