About
The scientific community has reached near universal agreement that human economic activity has a discernible impact on the global climate system and that warming of the climate system is unequivocal. The risks of climate change are real and the damages may be irreversible.
The peer-reviewed publications, reports, commentaries and analyses collected on this website demonstrate that there is rigorous economic support for immediate, large-scale policy responses. The economics literature justifies immediate action to minimize the risks of climate change.
RealClimateEconomics.org is a project of Economics for Equity and the Environment Network (E3). E3 Network is a national network of economists developing new arguments for the active protection of human health and the environment. E3 Network is an affiliate of Ecotrust.
