Greenomics – Ep. 4 | Climate risks: How understanding worst-case scenarios can help.
A climate, sustainability and economics podcast from Oxford Economics
The physical risks of climate change are becoming ever clearer as the world experiences more frequent droughts, wildfires, floods, and more. Understanding how these risks could change and how they might affect economies and livelihoods is key to spurring climate action.
In this episode, your host Sarah Nelson is joined by David Winter, Senior Economist in Scenarios and Macro Modelling, and by Mark Britton, Director in City Services at Oxford Economics. We discuss what Oxford Economics’ climate models tell us about the future, and how national risks can be mapped to cities and neighbourhoods to better understand the burden of climate impacts.
