ADBI Webinar Series on the Economics of Climate Change: How to Climate-Proof Economies and Public Finances

Climate change poses a serious threat to development in climate-vulnerable countries, where the number and intensity of extreme weather events are increasing rapidly. In parallel, climate change mitigation and adaptation policies and the development of climate-friendly technology can lead to a rise in transition risks. These dynamics adversely affect economies and public finances through diverse transmission channels. Additionally, countries have a range of financial instruments and economic tools such as fiscal policies, budgeting,  debt, financial regulatory framework etc. that will play an important role in promoting climate adaptation, a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and a more sustainable and resilient growth.

The ADBI Webinar Series on the Economics of Climate Change: How to Climate-Proof Economies and Public Finances will bring together experts from think tanks, international organizations, governments, and civil society to share their insights on the economics of climate change and how to climate-proof economies and public finances.
