LSE Business Review recorded a brief conversation with Nicholas Stern about climate change, business, academia and global affairs. Here is the first part, transcription and video. In Part II, to be posted next week, he talks about the idea of breaking the link between economic activity and damage to the environment, as opposed to pursuing a zero-growth objective. He also talks about the double challenge the world faces: overcoming poverty and managing climate change.
