"The Stern Review is a major review of the economics of climate change commissioned by the Chancellor Gordon Brown, to understand more comprehensively the nature of the economic challenges and how they can be met, in the UK and globally.
Sir Nicholas Stern, author of the review and former head of the UK Government Economics Service, will launch his new book The Economics of Climate Change.
Sir Nicholas will deliver a keynote address and then further discuss his ideas in conversation with Stephanie Flanders, BBC Newsnight’s Economics Editor. The event will be introduced by Matt Prescott, Director of the RSA’s CarbonLimited project."
