Climate Change: An analysis of the NGFS Macroeconomic Scenarios
Event Type
- This event has passed.
If you didn't manage to join us, you can watch a recording of the presentations here.
Please also find the slides from the workshop here. The three excel files (which you can download here, here and here) contain country-level macroeconomic output for the following NGFS representative scenarios: Hot house world; Orderly transition; Disorderly transition.
In partnership with NWG and Vivid Economics, NIESR invites you to a workshop presenting macroeconomic scenarios consistent with the recent NGFS climate scenarios.
During the workshop, we will cover the underlying thinking behind this project along with the techniques and data used as the foundation for the resultant output. We will invite you to review with us the methodology and underlying assumptions imposed by Vivid and NIESR during this investigation with the aim of increasing clarity, transparency and robustness for this and future investigations into climate effects.
This will be a highly interactive workshop with plenty of time scheduled for discussion and questions.
