The course is part of the module BVMVWL211-212-214
Content: How can we understand and model climate change as a global phenomenon?
What are its impacts on economies worldwide? What levels of warming
might we experience in the future? What are the benefits of reducing
carbon emissions? How much should we reduce them and at what cost? Which
role do specific technologies play? How does economic growth affect the
environment? And how do normative considerations affect the actions we
should take? All of these questions are essential to understand and cope
with the phenomenon of anthropogenic climate change. The lecture
provides an overview over the field of climate economics and introduces
key economic concepts used to understand the challenges we face and to
better inform and shape climate policy.
