Climate Policies and Poverty: Rethinking Strategies

This chapter examines the intersection of climate change policies and poverty reduction, arguing for a more integrated approach that goes beyond mere carbon emission reductions. The speakers highlight the limitations of current climate strategies and advocate for technological innovation and research as more effective solutions for both climate challenges and poverty alleviation. They also propose a globally coordinated carbon tax and express skepticism about the efficacy of renewable energy subsidies, calling for a broader perspective on addressing urgent global issues.
