Understanding the critical link between climate change and economic inequality is essential for crafting more effective and equitable policies and achieve an equitable transition. While climate change disproportionately impacts poorer populations worldwide, alleviating global poverty and achieving more equitable growth could come at a climate cost. People rising out of poverty may spend more on energy-intensive products than wealthier households, potentially causing a surge in greenhouse gas emissions compared to a future where growth is distributed more equitably.

In this webinar, Narasimha Rao, Associate Professor of Energy Systems at the Yale School of the Environment, will explore the trade-offs between inclusive economic growth and climate outcomes, drawing from his latest research.
