Illuminating Current Debates on Climate through Academic Insight: The Policy Brief Series

Drafted by economists who have shared their latest research in our Young Scholars’ webinar series, the Policy Briefs analyze key debates related to addressing climate change. The authors apply their expertise to elucidate the intricacies of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (“mitigation”) and adapting to current and expected climate impacts. By contextualizing recent scientific findings within policy conversations, the series illuminates evidence-based pathways for climate action. Both timely and thoughtful, the Policy Briefs aim to elevate discussions beyond rhetoric to the substantive domain of academic research.
