The True Cost of Carbon
Event Summary
What we know about climate change is bad, and should have prompted us to act a long time ago. But what we don’t know is potentially much worse. NYU climate economist Gernot Wagner discusses what we know, what we don’t, and the implications for climate policy in the U.S. and globally.
Please note this is a hybrid event. We look forward to welcoming guests back to the Kleinman Center’s Energy Forum. In accordance with the University of Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 guidelines, if you are joining in person you will be required to wear a mask and present a green PennOpen Pass (for members of the Penn community) or PennOpen Campus pass (for visitors) to attend. Further details for joining in-person or virtually will be emailed with your registration. Boxed lunches will be available to go following the event!
