Zware recessie door klimaatverandering

"Climate change could tilt the world's economy into the worst global recession in recent history, a report will warn next week. Sir Nicholas Stern, a former chief economist with the World Bank, will warn that governments need to tackle the problem head-on by cutting emissions or face economic ruin.'

"Stern said: "In my view this is the biggest challenge our global political system has ever been faced with. We've never been faced with a decision where collective decision making is required by all major countries. So for the first time we are asking a global political system to make decisions around risks to their populations that are well outside the time period of any election process."
