The long-term effects of climate change can potentially cause economic disruptions that may not be well-represented in current macroeconomic models.
This two-day hybrid workshop, hosted by the US National Academies, convenes economists, policy-makers and more to identify ways to better incorporate climate-related risks into macroeconomic models, leading to better policy-making.
The workshop takes place virtually and in-person in Washington, D.C.
