Hayek's Knowledge Problem overwhelms any centralized economic system. in market discipline. markets lift people out of poverty. markets are an inherently individualistic way to achieve superior collective outcomes.  markets do not require people to be perfect, or even well intentioned. the ultimate moral defense of markets is that they divert people who otherwise would raise armies and start religions into peacefully productive pursuits. markets, to quote Nicholas Stern, are how we take care of people we don't know. markets are the way to generate societal wealth for everything else we want to pay for. there is no conflict between capitalist profits and a social welfare system that protects the vulnerable. central economic planning elevates the worst of us and drags everyone down; markets exploit the best of us to benefit all of us.  central planning is a doom loop; markets are an upward spiral. in David Ricardo's concept of comparative advantage – as distinct from competitive advantage. a market sets wages as a function of the marginal productivity of the worker. in Milton Friedman's observation that human wants and needs are infinite. markets also increase societal well being by generating work in which people can productively engage. technological change, far from reducing the need for human work, increases it. that since human wants and needs are infinite, economic demand is infinite, and job growth can continue forever. markets are generative, not exploitative; positive sum, not zero sum. the techno-capital machine of markets and innovation never ends, but instead spirals continuously upward. in accelerationism – the conscious and deliberate propulsion of technological development. the techno-capital machine is not anti-human. the cornerstone resources of the techno-capital upward spiral are intelligence and energy. intelligence is the ultimate engine of progress. intelligence is in an upward spiral. we are poised for an intelligence takeoff that will expand our capabilities to unimagined heights. Artificial Intelligence is our alchemy, our Philosopher's Stone. Artificial Intelligence is best thought of as a universal problem solver. Artificial Intelligence can save lives. any deceleration of AI will cost lives. in Augmented Intelligence just as much as we believe in Artificial Intelligence. Augmented Intelligence drives marginal productivity which drives wage growth which drives demand which drives the creation of new supply. energy should be in an upward spiral. energy need not expand to the detriment of the natural environment. a second energy silver bullet is coming – nuclear fusion. there is no inherent conflict between the techno-capital machine and the natural environment. technology is the solution to environmental degradation and crisis. a technologically stagnant society has limited energy at the cost of environmental ruin. we should place intelligence and energy in a positive feedback loop, and drive them both to infinity. we should use the feedback loop of intelligence and energy to make everything we want and need abundant.

Ramón Méndez Galain, this year's recipient of the Carnot Prize, reflects on leading Uruguay to a 98% renewable electricity mix, and what the rest of the world might take from his country's experience. --- In 2008 Ramón Méndez Galain, a particle physicist with no experience in government, was appointed Director of Energy for Uruguay and proceeded to reimagine the country's electricity grid. In less than a decade, Méndez's energy transition plan succeeded in freeing the country's power sector from its growing reliance on imported oil, and achieved energy independence through a mix of 98% renewable electricity. Méndez and Noah Gallagher Shannon, a journalist who has written about Uruguay's energy transition for The New York Times Magazine, discuss the energy crisis that forced Uruguay's shift to clean energy and the financing structure and political accommodations that made the transition possible. Méndez also discusses his current role as head of an NGO that assists policymakers in other countries with their own energy transitions, drawing upon lessons learned in Uruguay where possible. Ramón Méndez Galain is Executive Director of Asociación Ivy and former Director of Energy for Uruguay. Noah Gallagher Shannon is a freelance journalist and author of the New York Times Magazine article on Uruguay's energy transition, “What Does Sustainable Living Look Like? Maybe Like Uruguay.” Related Content The Prospects for Pennsylvania as a RGGI Member https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/the-prospects-for-pennsylvania-as-a-rggi-member/ Wholesale Electricity Justice https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/wholesale-electricity-justice/ Nicholas Stern on the Role of Economics in Combatting Climate Change https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/podcast/nicholas-stern-on-the-role-of-economics-in-combating-climate-change/   Energy Policy Now is produced by The Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.

A senior climate diplomat discusses scientific, economic, and diplomatic barriers to rapid global decarbonization. --- In March the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released the final volume of its Sixth Assessment report on progress toward addressing climate change. The findings of the report aren't encouraging, and point to an acceleration of climate impacts and continued growth in fossil fuel use. Possibly the most candid assessment of the report's findings came in a statement from the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Gutierrez, who stated that developed countries must reach net zero by the year 2040, well ahead of declared targets, if hope is to remain of minimizing climate risks. In the podcast Simon Sharpe, Director of Economics for the UNFCCC Climate Champions and author of a newly published book, “Five Times Faster,” discusses his experience as one of the United Kingdom's senior climate diplomats, and the frustrations, and alarm, that accompany the less than adequate pace of emissions reductions to date. Sharpe discusses his book's exploration of the scientific, economic and diplomatic realities that have prevented rapid progress toward a net-zero global economy, and offers suggestions for constructive collaboration to accelerate the transition to cleaner forms of energy. Simon Sharpe is Director of Economics for the UNFCCC Climate Champions, and a Senior Fellow at the World Resources Institute.   Energy Policy Now is produced by The Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.

Più investimenti e innovazione contro il cambiamento climatico. È l'appello dell'economista inglese Nicholas Herbert Stern, che ha ricevuto a Milano la laurea honoris causa in Scienze bancarie, finanziarie e assicurative dell'Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. xa1/fsc/gtr

Au Tchad, plus d'1 million de personnes sont affectées par des inondations dues à des pluies hors normes. Au Nigeria, le même phénomène a tué 600 personnes et dévasté l'agriculture. Dans le sud-est du Niger, dans la région de Diffa, ce sont 2 800 personnes qui ont été déplacées par des inondations et qui vivent aujourd'hui dans le dénuement le plus total. C'est «le changement climatique causé par l'activité humaine qui a rendu ces événements 80 fois plus probable et 20 % plus intense». C'est la conclusion du World Weather Attribution, un réseau mondial de scientifiques capables d'évaluer en peu de temps le lien entre les événements météorologiques extrêmes et le changement climatique. Ces phénomènes vont s'accentuer, nous le savons. Mais, peut-on les anticiper pour mieux y faire face ?

This week your intrepid hosts cast their attention abroad to the historic passing of the Inflation Reduction Act in the US and the $370 Bn odd of investment into climate action it contains. Now just waiting for the stroke of Joe Biden's many pens, this will be a relief for many Democrats seeking re-election in the upcoming midterms.For our deep dive report we go FULL METAL WONK and attempt to average an orange, a picture of an apple and a mandarin-shaped eraser… no wait, that's what Integrated Assessment Models do and underpin little-read things like the IPCC's reports on climate mitigation and adaptation! We read climate economists of note Nicholas Stern, Joseph E. Stiglitz and Charlotte Taylor's paper and critique of IAMs,“The Economics of Immense Risk, Urgent Action and Radical Change: Towards New Approaches to the Economics of Climate Change” published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Are these guys the Avengers to Nordhaus' Thanos? You'll have to listen to find out.Luke's One More Thing was a shout out and tribute to the Australian Energy Foundation (formerly Moreland Energy Foundation Limited) who have announced they are closing their doors after more than 20 years of working to improve everyday Australians' lives through programs to improve home energy performance.Frankie's One More Thing is the anticipation of a decision by the Building Ministers Meeting coming up on 26 August on whether to adopt proposed increases to the minimum energy efficiency requirements for new homes in the National Construction Code. It's been over a decade since these were last increased and there is lots of interest in seeing this get over the line.Tennant's One More Thing was to claim a win for the pod out of the recent Energy Ministers' Meeting committing to a truckload of work, including what is effectively a supercharged ISP as part of the wide ranging National Energy Transformation partnership! See the full deets in their communique.That's all folks, see you next time! Please keep tweeting your thoughts to us at @LukeMenzel, @TennantReed and @FrankieMuskovic and email us your suggestions for papers to read at mailbag@letmesumup.net!

This week your intrepid hosts braved some interstate travel craziness (the things we do for you) and came together IN 3D REAL LIFE AND EVERYTHING to bring you this pod from Wurundjeri land.We have been loving the energy twitterati folks having at our ISP episode and in response to our follow up question “what would you want to see in a supercharged ISP?” we received plenty of excellent fodder from friends of the pod Emma, Tom Quinn, Craig Memery and more! A no-surprises tech scenario, a supercharged electrification/green hydrogen one as well as the fraught question of a just transition and how all this necessary infrastructure is to be paid for. Gulp.Our truly hipster choice for this week's pod was to eschew the boringly mainstream Victorian Gas Substitution Roadmap and instead dive into one of the reports that fed into it… Infrastructure Victoria's report ‘Towards 2050: Gas Infrastructure in a Net Zero Emissions Economy'. Thank you to dear friend of the pod, Rob Murray-Leach for recommending the 190-page-report-disguised-as-half-that-size

The connection between development and climate change is increasingly clear: delivering on these together will require large-scale low-carbon and resilient investments. It will also require approaches that tackle the political economy of the low-carbon transition and help communities build long-lasting resilience to climate change. What are the investments needed to achieve a green, resilient and sustainable future? How can we unlock private finance for climate action? How are countries stepping up to the challenge? During the https://live.worldbank.org/sm22/climate (2022 World Bank Group-IMF Spring Meetings), we explored the actions that are needed to create enabling environments, leverage different pools of capital at the right time, for specific needs, while involving communities and bringing them along in the global low-carbon, resilient transition. World leaders came together to discuss how to best build resilience & manage uncertainty. Listen to the Spring Meetings highlights in a special series of https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/series/the-development-podcast (The Development Podcast).

Featured voicesRania Al-Mashat, Minister of International Cooperation, Arab Republic of Egypt: "We cannot think about climate as separate from the development process of the country." Rhian-Mari Thomas, Chief Executive, Green Finance Institute: "We clearly need that enabling policy and regulatory frameworks in country, as well as the mechanisms to improve credit worthiness so that we can secure both local and international funds." Nicholas Stern, IG Patel Professor of Economics and Government, London School of Economics: "We have to put in place a big transition and we have to do it now, and of course, exiting coal, moving away from coal. That will involve a great deal of investment, but we're going to have to adapt." Mari Pangestu, Managing Director, Development Policy and Partnerships, World Bank: "Another realism that we are facing today the Ukraine war and its impact on high energy prices and increased concerns around energy security. How can we move forward to continue accelerating the energy transition?" Makhtar Diop, Managing Director, IFC: "We are hearing very much from the private sector about green taxonomy. People want to know when they invest to support a fight against climate change, that is really targeted to activities which are related to that."

Economist Lord Nicholas Stern discusses why traditional economics fail to capture the magnitude of threat presented by climate change, and how the discipline must adapt. --- In 2006 climate economist Nicholas Stern published the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, a report that offered the first systematic examination of the costs of addressing climate change and impacts on the global economy. The report marked a fundamental shift away from climate change being viewed primarily as an issue of science, to also being one of economics. Fifteen years later Stern looks back on that seminal report to examine how economics, and markets, have failed to grapple with the unprecedented risks posed by a changing climate, and how the profession must change to guide policy toward rapid decarbonization on a global scale. Stern's recording took place during his visit to the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy on April 19, where he received the center's Carnot Prize for distinguished contributions to energy policy. Nicholas Stern is IG Patel Professor of Economics and Government at the London School of Economics, and Chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.  Related Content Guidelines for Successful, Sustainable, Nature-Based Solutionshttps://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/guidelines-for-successful-sustainable-nature-based-solutions/ Supply and Demand Evolution in the Voluntary Carbon Credit Markethttps://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/supply-and-demand-evolution-in-the-voluntary-carbon-credit-market/ The Role of Negative Emissions in Getting to Carbon Neutralhttps://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/the-essential-role-of-negative-emissions-in-getting-to-carbon-neutral/   Energy Policy Now is produced by The Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.

Global prosperity since the first industrial revolution has been built on the burning of fossil fuels. But with the need to halve greenhouse gas emissions this decade and eliminate them by 2050, how can poorer countries, which have emitted far less than richer ones, continue to develop without pushing climate change over the brink of catastrophe?Guests: Climate campaigner Risalat Khan; Nicholas Stern, chair of the Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment; Mariana Mazzucato, economics professor at University College London.

Richard Haass and economist Nicholas Stern, chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, discuss the realities of climate change as well as renewable energy, carbon pricing, and the prospect of building a carbon-neutral economy.   Episode Guest:  Nicholas Stern (Chair, Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy).   This episode is based on a live event that took place on June 16, 2021.   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit us at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/will-the-world-meet-the-challenge-of-climate-change.

In der ersten Folge stellen wir euch einen dänischen Energiekonzern vor, der nur ein paar Jahre gebraucht hat, um vom Klimasünder zum Vorreiter zu werden. Der Weg von Dong Energy zu Ørsted war nicht einfach und das Ergebnis ist noch nicht perfekt. Aber man kann etwas Wichtiges daraus lernen: Der Wandel ist möglich! Und wenn wir wirklich wollen, dann geht‘s auch mit Tempo. Darüber sprechen wir auch mit Brigitte Knopf. Sie ist Klimawissenschaftlerin und Generalsekretärin am Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change. Außerdem sitzt sie im Expertenrat für Klimafragen, der die Politik der Bundesregierung bewertet. Im Gespräch erklärt sie uns, was die größten Klima-Baustellen sind und warum es im Kampf gegen die Erderwärmung auf jedes Zehntelgrad ankommt.

The latest release from the sixth IPCC Report shows that emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are responsible for approximately 1.1°C of warming since 1850-1900, and that the global temperature is expected to reach or exceed 1.5°C of warming increase within the next two decades. The need for finance to support a transition to both net-zero and negative-carbon emissions has never been more urgent. In this IPCC Special episode, Green is the New Finance looks at the Report's findings and the role of finance. Guest Lord Nicholas Stern, I. G. Patel Professor of Economics and Government and Chairman of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics shares his views on the role of public finance, while Green Finance Institute CEO, Rhian-Mari Thomas, discusses the role of private finance with hosts Ryan Jude and Helen Avery.

Nicholas Eberstadt discusses U.S. demographic exceptionalism and how demographic trends will drive policymaking in the 21st century. This meeting is the fifth session in CFR's speaker series, The 21st Century World: Big Challenges & Big Ideas, which features some of today's leading thinkers and tackles issues ​that will define this century. The series commemorates CFR's centennial and will be released as a podcast later this year. Our first session on April 13 featured Margaret MacMillan on “What Are the Lessons of History for Our Era?,” the second session on May 4 featured Anne Applebaum on “Can Democracy Survive?,” the third with Nicholas Stern on “Will Climate Change Us Before We Change It?” took place on June 16, and the fourth on July 15 with Minouche Shafik on “Balancing the Role of Government and Markets.”

Today’s guest in #CapitalismAfterCoronavirus​ is Nicholas Stern. Nicholas is a Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics. Formerly, he was Vice President at the World Bank and Second Permanent Secretary to the English Treasury. His research focuses on international climate politics, sustainable finance and the transition to zero emissions growth. He headed the Stern review, where he analyses the economics of climate change. In this episode, we discussed the green agenda, climate investments and policies, as well as key areas of action.

Mark Campanale is an award winning Sustainable Investment expert, the Founder & Executive Director of the Carbon Tracker Initiative and conceived the ‘unburnable carbon’ capital markets thesis. He has twenty-five years experience in sustainable financial markets working for major institutional asset management companies.  Please listen to the episode to be inspired beyond any boundaries and read the “More about Mark Campanale” section at the end of these notes to learn more about his outstanding career and contribution to the financial markets and our society at large. Highlights: How can we change financial Markets for good?  “There is an old saying: How do you change capitalism? You need to take control of the capital.” Mark’s (career) evolution and path to founding Carbon Tracker: Going to The University of York Crossing the Sahara Desert Becoming an analyst assessing projects for Live Aid Working on the first fairtrade coffee in Tanzania in1988 Pioneering green finance alongside Tessa Tennant founder of Merlin Ecology Fund Being one of the first “green analyst” in the City of London Investing in the first renewable energy business Knowing what you don’t like: Stop the city protest Inspiring women leaders in the industry How global warming motivated Mark to find solutions through the world of finance. Xtrata’s IPO and the lack of sustainable impact information on their documentation. The long list of supporters, advocates and funders of this movement “In the same way that Bill McKibben with the divestment movement managed to change everything, Mark Carney carried this message into the world of financial markets regulation has changed everything.” Re-thinking the purpose of finance: The future of the planet, the security of the financial system and pension schemes. Paris Climate agreement: Investors are absolutely aligned with a safe outcome. The analysis of ecological boundaries and its financial impact “Four or five hedge funds are now shorting the fossil fuel industry and going long on the clean economy. I think we are going to see a lot more of that in the future.” “Everyone that has sold out of the fossil fuels sector or shorted it in from 10 years ago has done extremely well, both on a relative and absolute basis … but we need a forceful intervention”. Using Satellites and AI to help cut carbon emissions: Transparency is a crucial element of accountability.

In the third episode of Planet A, Dan Jørgensen talks with Professor Lord Nicholas Stern, Chairman of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics. Jørgensen and Stern discuss the economics of climate change, climatic change feedback mechanisms and the need to build sustainable infrastructure in the coming decades. Stern argues that the consequences of climate change is “far, far worse” than he anticipated in his 2006 report “The Economics of Climate Change”. Nevertheless, the rapid development of renewable energy technology, has meant that Stern is optimistic that humankind can tackle climate change. Finally, Stern talks about need to rebuild the economy in the wake of COVID-19-crisis and touches upon the lessons we can learn from the failure to double down on climate action in response to the 2008 financial crisis. Stern has distinguished himself as a professor of economics at a number of the world’s leading universities and as the World Bank’s Chief Economist. However, he emerged as the global thought leader on the nexus between economics and climate change, when he authored the landmark report “The Economics of Climate Change” (also known as the Stern Review) for the British government in 2006.

Mitigating the effects of climate change takes a multifaceted approach with economic policy playing a pivotal role. In this podcast, we hear from two influential people at the very center of where economic and environmental policies meet. IMF Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva and Lord Nicholas Stern, of the London School of Economics, discuss the significance of the Special Report on Climate Change published in 2018 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and how financial institutions can help countries live up to their Paris accord pledges to reduce carbon emissions. Nicholas Stern is Chairman of LSE's Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and author of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change published in 2006.

This week’s episode of Stephanomics comes to you from Beijing, where Bloomberg hosted the second annual New Economy Forum, bringing together global leaders to discuss how to solve the world’s biggest challenges.  Stephanie Flanders first interviews Nicholas Stern, one of the world’s foremost experts on climate change and economics—a combined subject that’s gained increasing urgency for policymakers. Stern is a former adviser to the U.K. government and now chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics. Then we have Zhu Min, a former senior official at China’s central bank as well as the International Monetary Fund. He joins Flanders to discuss key issues in the global economy as well as the U.S.-China trade war. Finally, we’ll hear excerpts from a panel discussion on a Bloomberg Economics report called Drivers and Disrupters, addressing the forces threatening the world’s hottest economies. Speakers include Tom Orlik, Bloomberg’s chief economist, and former HSBC Chief Economist Stephen King.

The Growth Story of the 21st Century: Investing in our Sustainable Future Lord Nicholas Stern, Professor of Economics LSE and President of the Royal Economic Society, advises that if we invest in sustainable infrastructure, clean energy, and smart transport systems now; we will catalyze a flood of investment and awaken a stream of innovation that inevitably will transform our world. Good economic decisions and healthy trade discussions considers all forms of capital that shape our wellbeing now and the wellbeing of those who come after us in future generations. These forms of capital include; physical capital— infrastructure, roads, buildings, technology; human capital- health and education; social capital— equity, good governance, safety, security, trust, community; and natural capital—biodiversity, healthy habitats, clean air and water, vibrant oceans. It is vitally important now that we encourage healthy, relevant discourse on social-human-natural capital among foreign trade ministers and finance ministers; so that they think long term, consider future generations, and account for the health of planet and people in framing national and international policies.

2 years after 195 countries came together under the Paris Agreement to combat the effects of climate change, leading climate economist Nicholas Stern remains cautiously optimistic. In his landmark report on the impact of climate change published in 2006, Stern warned that the cost of inaction would be far greater for future generations than the costs of actions taken to reduce carbon emissions. In this podcast, Stern says while the world “passed the test” when signing the Paris Agreement, he worries that policy makers will not act quickly enough. Stern joined a panel discussion on the economic and financial issues related to climate change at the IMF World-Bank Annual meetings.

"I don't think there's any right to emit, I think there's a right to development," said former World Bank chief economist Lord Nicholas Stern, a professor at the London School of Economics. “To emit is to damage – I don’t see that there's a right to damage.” Stern spoke about the economics of climate change, alternative energies, the carbon bubble and the growing global population before accepting the 2013 Stephen Schneider Award for Outstanding Climate Science Communication. Few people have impacted the discussion of the economics of carbon pollution more than Stern, who authored the highly influential 2006 “Stern Review,” which concluded that the costs of inaction were far greater than the costs of action when it comes to climate change. “Having no policy of any serious strength on climate change is essentially to do nothing about the biggest market distortion, the biggest market failure the world has ever seen,” he said. The $10,000 Stephen Schneider Award is given every year in memory of the late Stanford researcher Stephen H. Schneider, a founding father of modern climate science. The award recognizes people that create new understanding in the physical and social sciences, and communicate to a broad public.

"Klimatkrisen - mänsklighetens största marknadsmisslyckande". Så har den brittiske ekonomen, Nicholas Stern uttryckt sig i samband med sin så kallade Sternrapport, som han skrev 2006. Att klimatet har ett pris råder det ingen som helst tvekan om. Frågan är hur priset ska sättas och vem som ska betala. Behöver man till exempel ändra på beräkningen av tillväxt , BNP och behöver man nya globala institutioner som kan hantera beslut och åtgärder? Klimatet och ekonomin diskuteras av den internationellt välkände svenske miljöforskaren Johan Rockström och ekonomen Klas Eklund, nyutnämnd adjungerad professor vid Lunds universitetet.

Former chief economist at the World Bank Nicholas Stern's landmark report on the economics of climate change was seen as a global call to action. Now, in a new book, he looks at how we can meet the massive challenges ahead -- and he's surprisingly hopeful. It's called The Global Deal: Climate Change and the Creation of a New Era of Progress and Prosperity.
