A Multi-Faceted Approach to Reducing Climate Change

⁣A multi-faceted approach to reducing climate damage | John Deutch | Seminar
A conceptual model that integrates four strategies to address climate change It
is very unlikely that climate damages can be reduced to an acceptable level by
the end of the century relying only on emissions reduction. A conceptual model
is presented that includes four climate change control strategies: emissions
reduction, carbon dioxide (CO2) removal from the atmosphere, adaptation to
climate change, and geoengineering to optimally reduce climate damage subject
to a control budget constraint. Speaker Biography: John Deutch is an Institute
