New @UNEP report: integrated climate and clean-air policy can deliver rapid health and economic gains while limiting warming. Bringing climate and pollution impacts into a common model, we offer the most robust evidence of the combined benefits of action. wedocs.unep.org/items/7199c3…
Comprehensive new assessment of climate damages for the UK out in Nature Climate Change!
We combine 27 models to value 13+ impact channels, missing risks, and global spillovers. Current losses ≈2% of GDP, rising to ~10% by 2100 without mitigation.

🚨 New Paper Alert! We’ve synthesized 1,823 SCC estimates, revealing that typical values are too low. Our new approach, informed by expert insights, updates the SCC to $283/ton. Structural decisions matter! #climate #scc pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
New paper out in @PNASNews with @ClimateFran, @jrising, Simon Dietz, @ivanjrudik & @GernotWagner providing most comprehensive evidence on the social cost of carbon (SCC) with a meta-analysis + expert survey & a combination of elements of both to generate a “synthetic SCC”👇
Excited to share my latest work on Delaware's coastal economy! 🌊✨ It's growing 5x faster than the state, supports 104,540 jobs, contributes $820M in taxes, and generates $8.3B in revenue. #MarineEconomy #Sustainability deseagrant.org/hazards#seasi…
🚀 Excited to announce a new publication in the Journal of Open Source Education: “A practical guide to climate econometrics”! 🌍 Dive into key decision points in weather & climate data analysis & access our tutorial with code snippets. Check it out! climateestimate.net/
We're missing some of the biggest risks in climate change, and it's going to take interdisciplinary coordination on a level we've never seen before to fix it. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… #newresearch #climatechange
New report: Damages from climate change in the UK to reach 7.4% of GDP by 2100 under current policies, with a 1-in-20 chance of being greater than 16% of GDP. Benefits of stopping climate change are much more than the costs. @GRI_LSE @OpenModeling

Our review, "Challenges and innovations in the economic evaluation of the risks of climate change" is out in Ecological Economics! Every aspect of our understanding of climate risks is being improved-- it's an exciting time to be a researcher!

Our first AWASH paper is out, showing off our spatial optimization model of US water! We show that there's a huge gap between current water stress metrics and the potential of water infrastructure.

Our new paper produces a new estimate of the risks of climate change, offering evidence on two of the biggest questions in the field: the role of persistent damages and climate variability!

Crop switching & relocation of crop production to different states in the US could prevent up to half of predicted losses in agricultural profits from climate change impacts according to new research by @jrising & Naresh Devineni lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/…
Bloomberg Green has an awesome article on our work estimating the death toll from climate change, with some really beautiful visualizations about the consequences of poverty.

Awesome scroll-comic on the long history of what we've known about climate change. What does it take to act?
Genius webcomic by @Sustain_Illustr showing Big Oil's knowledge of global warming going all the way back to the 1950s: sustainabilityillustrated.co…
