Why is Understanding the Economic Impact of Climate Change Essential for Sustainability? The future costs of extreme climate events and the transition to a low-carbon economy are becoming undeniable. Real change can only happen if governments, businesses, and individuals work towards a shared goal. In this pathway, Amit Kara examines the economic models that illustrate the impact of anthropogenic emissions on the earth, and why climate change represents a market failure. He also discusses macroeconomic projections from integrated assessment models, as well as the risk management strategies and climate stress tests used by central banks to address these challenges.
