Combining the latest climate models, state-of-the-art econometric research on human responses to climate, and cutting-edge private-sector risk-assessment tools, Economic Risks of Climate Change: An American Prospectus crafts a game-changing profile of the economic risks of climate change in the United States. This prospectus is based on a critically acclaimed independent assessment of the economic risks posed by climate change commissioned by the Risky Business Project. With new contributions from Karen Fisher-Vanden, Michael Greenstone, Geoffrey Heal, Michael Oppenheimer, and Nicholas Stern and Bob Ward, as well as a foreword from Risky Business cochairs Michael Bloomberg, Henry Paulson, and Thomas Steyer, the book speaks to scientists, researchers, scholars, activists, and policy makers. It depicts the distribution of escalating climate-change risk across the country and assesses its effects on aspects of the economy as varied as hurricane damages and violent crime. Beautifully illustrated and accessibly written, this book is an essential tool for helping businesses and governments prepare for the future. 606 $aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aClimatic changes$xRisk management$zUnited States 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes$xRisk management 676 $a363.738/74 700 $aHouser$b Trevor, $0850187 702 $aHouser$b Trevor 702 $aFisher-Vanden$b Karen 702 $aBloomberg$b Michael 702 $aPaulson$b Henry M. 702 $aSteyer$b Thomas F. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797348103321 996 $aEconomic risks of climate change$93818060 997 $aUNINA
