13:15-13:45This event marked the launch of the book ‘’, co-authored by Grégory Claeys, Marie Le Mouel, Simone Tagliapietra, Guntram B. Wolff and Georg Zachmann and published by Cambridge University Press. The book provides a guide to the macroeconomic fundamentals of decarbonisation. It identifies the major economic transformations, both over the long- and short-run, and the roadblocks requiring policy intervention. It also proposes a macroeconomic policy agenda for decarbonisation to achieve the climate goals of the international community, which will be discussed at the event.
