Environmental Economics
Can economics combat climate change? Do we need a carbon tax? How can we provide the right incentives for businesses to reduce pollution and introduce greener products?
Left alone, a free market economy won’t preserve the environment and conserve resources. Businesses can pollute, people can make bad environmental decisions. That’s why economists address how government intervention can help secure a clean and healthy environment. Can environmental economics help in the fight against climate change? How can we provide the right incentives for a transition to energy efficiency? Nobel Laureates discuss the challenges of climate change, renewable energy and the way to economic sustainability.
Driving change in the world needs leadership. As one of the world's largest wealth managers, we have a responsibility to take a leading role in shaping a positive future.
