Reboot development: the economics of a livable planet

Join our climaTRACES Lab workshop

Speaker: Richard Damania and Martin Raiser, World Bank

Richard Damania (Chief Economist of the World Bank Sustainable Development Practice Group) and Martin Raiser (World Bank Senior Representative for European Economic Cooperation) will present key insights from the World Bank’s flagship report Reboot Development: The Economics of a Livable Planet. The report examines how development strategies can deliver prosperity while reducing environmental
damage. It highlights the economic costs of environmental degradation, the distributional impacts across countries, and policy pathways to align growth with a liveable planet.

The weekly climaTRACES workshops, organised by Kamiar Mohaddes and Henning Zschietzschmann, are attended by a diverse group of people from economics, geography, politics, engineering, business, earth sciences, natural sciences and history, generating interdisciplinary discussion. One person leads the session, on either a paper they have written, a work in progress or just an idea they have and would like feedback on. This is also an opportunity for people to find our more about the team on what climaTRACES have been up to and what future events and research projects are being developed.
