Description
In both climate change and financial crises, worst-case scenarios and disastrous risks are inescapable. Yet public policy often focuses on average or likely outcomes, minimizing the danger of extreme events. Worst-Case Economics: Extreme Events in Climate and Finance explores the underlying causes and the remedies needed for the most serious climate and financial risks.
