The Science of Climate Change
Climate change is no longer a distant threat or just a possibility, it is now a reality for all of us. In this pathway, Kevin Trenberth, a renowned climatologist, delves into the science behind climate change. He first introduces the climate system, its main components and forces.
Tackling the Plastic Crisis
Plastic pollution is by far the biggest threat to our oceans and this remains an incredibly tough problem to solve. Plastic credits could potentially serve as one of the much needed solutions for this crisis.

The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge
The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy.
ESG, Sustainability and Impact Jargon Buster
ESG, sustainability, impact… they all just mean green, right? Not quite. Despite being used often interchangeably, there are distinct differences between these terms.

Climate Change Economics
The future cost associated with extreme climate change is fast becoming a topic that policy makers and sectors can no longer ignore. Real change cannot be effected without governments, businesses and individuals working towards a shared goal. In this pathway, Amit Kara explores the economic identities that model the impact of anthropogenic emissions on the earth, as well as exploring why climate change is an example of market failure. He also explains macroeconomic projections from integrated assessment models and explains the risk management strategies and climate stress tests conducted by central banks.

The Physical Risks of Climate Change
In this video, Amit explores the impact of the physical damage of climate change on the macroeconomic economy and stresses the importance of intervening with the correct policy response. Without this, the impact of climate change will spread and intensify.
Amit Kara • 12:30
Climate Policy Intervention
In this video, Amit Kara talks about the need for government intervention to tackle the climate change crisis. He explains about market failure, externalities and the case for governments to intervene through Pigouvian taxes such as carbon tax and new regulation.
Amit Kara • 12:01
Modelling the Path to Net Zero
In the previous videos, Amit Kara explained how human behaviour is directly responsible for climate change and the need for government intervention to tackle the climate crisis. In this video he quantifies the link between human activity and emissions by building a simple scenario model known as Kaya identity.
Amit Kara • 13:28
Carbon Tax and Regulation
In this video on the macroeconomics of climate change, Amit Kara touches on the different types of interventions that the government can introduce. The key focus of this video is government policy and understanding how these decisions could be crucial in limiting global warming.
Amit Kara • 13:36
Integrated Assessment Models I
In the fifth video of this series on the Macroeconomics of Climate Change, Amit focuses on models that are used to assess the economic impact of climate change. The class of models he discusses is this video are Integrated Assessment Models or IAMs. Amit outlines why IAMs are the most widely used models among social scientists specialising in climate-related issues.
Amit Kara • 11:09
Integrated assessment models II
In the sixth video of this series on the Macroeconomics of Climate Change, Amit outlines why IAMs have been and will remain the workhorse models for climate economics and policy analysis. In this video, Amit continues the discussion around IAMs and completes the model circle. He also discusses how these models can be used to justify climate action.
Amit Kara • 06:44
Central Banks and Climate Risk Management
In this video, Amit discusses climate change and the role that central banks can play in helping navigate the economy towards net zero. Amit makes a compelling case for why climate change risk management should be included in the mandate for every central bank.
Amit Kara • 12:35
Central Bank Climate Stress Tests
In the final video of his series, Amit Kara outlines the scope and objectives of a climate stress test exercise. He then summarises the climate scenarios that have been used by these central banks for their climate stress test exercises.
