S3E5: America’s Climate U-Turn: Bob Litterman on Economic Risks in a Critical Time
Description
In this special series of the podcast, we're focusing on the policy priorities of the second Trump administration and how research can inform our understanding of a rapidly changing economic environment.
Over the last several months, the Trump administration is leveraging federal power and resources to systematically dismantle the nation's tools to address climate change. Among other actions, the President has defunded climate related research, withdrawn from international agreements to reduce global warming, retracted clean energy initiatives and doubled down on fossil fuels to meet the nation's growing energy needs. In this conversation, economist Bob Litterman will share his perspective on what these changes could mean for identifying and mitigating climate related economic and financial risks.
