Solar Geoengineering Seminar
Katherine Ricke, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, will present "A Solar Geoengineering and Global Income Inequality Paradox."
Exploring heterogeneity in the economic impacts of solar geoengineering is a fundamental step towards understanding the risk tradeoff associated with a geoengineering option. To evaluate the impacts of solar geoengineering and greenhouse gas-driven climate change on equal terms, we apply macroeconomic impact models that have been widely applied to climate change impacts assessment. Consistent reduction in inter-country inequality can inform discussions of the distribution of impacts of solar geoengineering, a topic of concern in geoengineering ethics and governance debates.
Lunch is provided with RSVP to acchang@seas.harvard.edu.
