Climate change means extreme weather, shifting landscapes, and generally more instability. More and more, you can feel the impacts of climate disruption in your wallets. Drought is pushing up the cost of candy and leading to shipping delays in the Panama Canal.
Globally, researchers say climate could add one percent to inflation every year until 2035. The costs of car insurance, health insurance and property insurance are rising. And whether it’s tea in the morning or wine in the evening, disrupted climate patterns and extreme weather are making certain foods more expensive.
This week, we unpack how climate change drives inflation.
Guests:
Nicholas Stern, IG Patel Chair of Economics and Government, London School of Economics
Jeremy Porter, Head of Climate Implications Research, First Street Foundation
Avery Ellfeldt, Reporter, E&E News
Lea Borkenhagen, Senior Vice President, EDF+Business
