Download or read book Investment and Growth in the Time of Climate Change written by Atanas Kolev (Economist). This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cognisant of the many facets of climate change, this report looks through the lens of economics, that is, the social science that measures the economic impact of climate change and the costs and benefits of trying to mitigate it and adapt to it. From an investment perspective, issues for study include the balance between investment in mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions and adaptation to climate change; the urgency and timing of investing in both; obstacles to investment; and policies to remove them and make investment profitable. From a growth perspective, issues of interest include the link between climate action and economic growth; the short-term and the long-term dimensions of this link; and the importance of innovation as an interface between climate action and economic growth. One of the key messages from this report is that there is unexploited scope for making Europe's climate action more efficient, growth-friendly, and in tune with fiscal constraints."--publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Investing to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change by : Anthony Bonen
Download or read book Investing to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change written by Anthony Bonen. This book was released on 2016-09-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose a macroeconomic model to assess optimal public policy decisions in the the face of competing funding demands for climate change action versus traditional welfare-enhancing capital investment. How to properly delineate the costs and benefits of traditional versus adaption-focused development remains an open question. The paper places particular emphasis on the changing level of risk and vulnerabilities faced by developing countries as they allocate investment toward growth strategies, adapting to climate change and emissions mitigation.

Book Synopsis Investing in a Time of Climate Change by :
Download or read book Investing in a Time of Climate Change written by . This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Climate change is an environmental, social and economic risk, expected to have its greatest impact in the long term. But to address it, and avoid dangerous temperature increases, change is needed now. Investors cannot therefore assume that economic growth will continue to be heavily reliant on an energy sector powered predominantly by fossil fuels. This presents asset owners and investment managers with both risks and opportunities. This study helps address the following investor questions: (i) How big a risk/return impact could climate change have on a portfolio, and when might that happen?; (ii) What are the key downside risks and upside opportunities, and how do we manage these considerations to fit within the current investment process?; (iii) What plan of action can ensure an investor is best positioned for resilience to climate change?"--Executive summary.
