Climate Disasters and the Green New Deal

The increasing frequency and severity of climate disasters around the globe is a great challenge for society, academics, and policymakers. To mitigate climate change, members of Congress have proposed a Green New Deal — a host of economic policies aimed at tackling climate change from the creation of sustainable jobs to pollution reduction.

Join SCEPA for a presentation and panel discussion on climate disasters and the Green New Deal featuring:

• Economics Professor Stephanie Kelton, Stony Brook University
• Economics Professor Claudia Kemfert, German Institute of Economic Research
• Science Professor and Institute of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences Director Bob Kopp, Rutgers University
• Economics Professor and Chair of Financial Econometrics Stefan Mittnik, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich
