Introduction to Climate Risk Management

The 2020 World Economic Forum Global Risks Report ranks climate change as the key risk faced by business, finance, and society over the next 10 years. In this video, Simon focuses on the risks and how to identify and manage them.

Modelling the Path to Net Zero

In the last two videos on this series, Amit explained how human behaviour is directly responsible for climate change and the need for government intervention to tackle the climate change crisis. In this video he quantifies the link between human activity and emissions by building a simple scenario model known as Kaya identity.

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.

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.
