February 22 3:30 pm Panel Discussion on The Economics of Climate Change: Costs and Benefits

Join the Southeast CSC Global Change Fellows in a conversation about the economic impacts of climate change with NC State faculty and practitioners.

We will explore the effects of climate change and the ability of the country to mitigate and adapt to the negative consequences of climate change. Is adaptation a more economically viable option than mitigation? What are the barriers to massive penetration of renewable energies? Will our economy benefit from the shifts to cleaner technologies or suffer from it? What are the least expensive solutions for climate change mitigation? How will the mitigation efforts differ among developed and developing countries? What are some short- and long-term economic impacts of climate change adaptation and mitigation? We invite you to listen, discuss, and explore these questions with our expert panel. Please come with any questions or points of discussion.

Featuring:
Dr. Joseph DeCarolis, Associate Professor, NC State Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering
Dr. Harrison Fell, Associate Professor, NC State Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics
Dr. Jeremiah Johnson, Associate Professor, NC State Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering
