24 November 2006, Sir Nicholas Stern, the Head of the Government Economic Service and adviser to the British Government on the economics of climate change and development, spoke at the British Embassy on The Economics of Climate Change.
His presentation concludes “Unless emissions are curbed, climate change will bring high costs for human development, economies and the environment” and “Decisive and strong international action is urgent: delay means greater risks and higher costs.”
He also discussed with the German Council for Sustainable Development (RNE), established in April 2001 by Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. The chair Dr. Volker Hauff sees Germany in duty to discuss the economy of Climate Change with China, India and the US during its next year G8 presidency.
