International climate policy to make the Paris Agreement a success

Venue: Lab 14 Seminar Room, 290

Presenters: Professor Ottmar Edenhofer

The real work is just beginning: Professor Ottmar Edenhofer explores the issues for international climate policy “post-Paris”. The Paris Agreement could be a milestone for international climate diplomacy if the introduction of effective tools succeeds. National minimum prices for CO2 emissions combined with international climate finance could be a way to put the Paris Agreement into practice. Keywords in this context are the global carbon budget, two degrees target, the need for negative emissions, game theory and how this impacts climate.

Ottmar Edenhofer is Deputy Director and Chief Economist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Professor of the Economics of Climate Change of the Technical University Berlin.
