Climate change is not just about getting the right technology. It is also about changing behavior and policies. And it is not (only) about the end of the world: it is also about the damage it does, today, mainly to poor people around the world. In this dialogue, Professor Duflo and Minister Lawson will discuss some of what we know about the impact of climate change on poor countries, and what we know and what we do not know about changing behavior and policies. They will also discuss and put numbers on the financial responsibility of rich countries vis-à-vis the poorer part of the world and propose binding financing mechanisms to fulfill them.
