Political headwinds against climate action are intensifying even as global temperatures hit record highs. Every year of delay compounds decarbonization costs. The incentive design challenge is solvable — the question is political will, by @PaulaPereda8 ➡️ article #96 of @iea_we
International Economic Association - Women in Econ@iea_weJul 6
