Climate change is not an isolated challenge, but part of a broader challenge: called the Global Energy Challenge. In this presentation organized by the Ramón Areces Foundation and the Navarra Center for International Development (University of Navarra), Professor Michael Greenstone analyzes how all countries must face the need to balance three objectives that, although interdependent, are often in tension with one another: access to affordable and secure energy, improving air quality, and reducing the damage associated with climate change. Throughout the presentation, a number of key facts are presented to better understand the complexity of this challenge and the interactions between these three objectives. Finally, possible solutions are discussed, including: setting prices that reflect the full social cost of energy, encouraging technological and policy innovation, improving the information available on pollution and its effects, and treating energy as a private good.
