CFP member Paul Waidelich interviewed on climate change impacts

Together with an international group of researchers from Imperial College and LSE, among others, CFP’s Doctoral Researcher Paul Waidelich has co-authored external pagea paper on the societal costs of climate changecall_made that was published in Environmental Research Letters. Using an integrated assessment model, the study investigates the impacts of recent advances in economics and climate science on the social cost of carbon, i.e. the costs of emitting an additional ton of CO2. Moreover, the paper explores how this indicator changes if the model allows for intra-annual temperature variability and for climate change impacting long-term trajectories of economic growth. The findings have been widely discussed in news outlets, including by external pageThe Guardiancall_made, external pageZEITcall_made, and external pageSueddeutsche Zeitungcall_made, and the German radio station WDR 5 interviewed Paul for their external pageQuarks programcall_made which aired on 9 September 2021.
