New paper on estimating economic damages from climate change
Paul Waidelich has published a research paper proposing a new method for projecting future global costs of climate change.
Paul Waidelich, a PhD researcher at CFP, has just published a research paper proposing a new method for estimating the future global costs of climate change accounting for variability and extremes in precipitation and temperature. The paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, is co-authored with scientists from ETH Zurich, University of Delaware, and Imperial College London.
