Lecture #4: An economic perspective on climate change

Dear Students,

As usual the lecture was a great experience and I would like to thank you all for being engaging with our guest lecturer PhD Candidate Fabian Levihn.

I would like to point out some key points of the presentation:

• What should be the price to reach the goal of reducing GHG emissions?
• Who is going to pay?
• Currently, the value for CERs (Certified Emission Reduction) or carbon credits is no longer a good incentive to corporations.
• Biofuels are considered carbon neutral under the economic perspective. What about other perspectives, how do they perceive biofuels?
• When making a decision about reducing emissions, what are we really substituting them with?
• We cannot solve the problem without a systems perspective.

I would recommend you all to think about these points and, please, feel free to add comments here. We all can benefit from a discussion.

The file containing the presentation is available in Bilda. That's all folks!

Have a great weekend and see you all on Monday morning.

Cheers, Alessandro
