Climate scenarios: Oxford Economics’ methodological approach explained

Topic: Following the launch of Oxford Economics’ new Global Climate Service we look forward to walking you through the methodological approach to our climate scenarios in detail. Our bespoke scenarios are modelled using new climate policy levers on the Global Economic Model (GEM). The GEM stimulates a connection across three key factors: the climate, the energy system and the global macroeconomy. The model’s enhanced framework draws on our econometric analysis of the climate damage function – a relationship between temperature and productivity – and our latest research on the economic impact of carbon pricing.

Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for EMEA, Americas and APAC friendly time zones:

  • EMEA – Tuesday 9th November| 10:00 GMT
  • Americas – Tuesday 9th November | 16:00 EST
  • APAC – Tuesday 9th November | 10:00 HKT

China & India: Key Themes for 2025

Increased uncertainty about trade disruptions and the policy mix shape the outlook for 2025 globally. China will likely be at the centre of a possible escalation of the trade war that already started during Trump’s first term. Domestically, China also faces lingering deflationary risks. Authorities have launched short-term policy stimulus, but demand-side reforms like improving social security nets are still lagging. India, meanwhile, with its largely domestically focused economy will likely be less impacted by the new US administration's fiscal and trade policies. Key to watch will be how strong private consumption demand will grow against a backdrop of structurally weak labour markets.
