New Book from HEEP Fellows

Gernot Wagner, former HEEP Pre-Doctoral Fellow, and Martin Weitzman, HEEP Faculty Fellow, have published a book entitled Climate Shock.

The book explores in lively, clear terms the likely repercussions of a hotter planet, drawing from and expanding upon work previously unavailable to general audiences. What we know about climate change is alarming enough—Climate Shock helps readers zero in on the unknown risks that may dwarf the known risks. The book also shows how the economic forces that make sensible climate policies difficult to implement can also make more radical approaches like geoengineering more likely to be attempted.
