Speaker: Sir Nicholas Stern, IG Patel Professor Economics at the London School of Economics. Head of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change published in October 2006. Climate change poses severe risks to the economies and societies of the planet. This risk can be radically reduced with strong and timely action. If the appropriate economic and other policies are designed well and put in place now, then the costs will be much smaller than the damages averted. The policies do not imply the curtailment of economic growth and development.
