Responding to an earlier piece by David Aikman, this blog from Mark Cliffe proposes that a front-loaded fiscal stimulus would drive growth and improve long term fiscal sustainability.

Timely call from @gilliantett for stepping up efforts on climate adaptation. Added to the inevitability of more extreme weather, the rising risk of tipping points being crossed - such as the collapse of the AMOC - makes this even more compelling @GSI_Exeter #GlobalTippingPoints

New short-term climate scenarios from @NGFS_ ignore innate economic and financial volatility and understate transition risks, says economic consultant @markcliffe. >> greencb.co/3ZcvgjB

Agreed! I proposed taxes based on car sizes in my FT article "Small is Cool" : xitter.cf/markcliffe
Fascinating data analysis from the Economist looking at 7.5m US car crashes
The chart below shows likelihood of you dying in a car crash by weight of your car (grey line) and weight of other car (red line)
So it’s in our own self interest to get a heavier car (slight reduction in chance of our own death) but definitely not in society’s (big increase in chance other driver dies if our car gets heavier)
Potential case for additional tax for cars over 4000lbs (from that point on there’s little extra safety for the driver but a lot of risk for others)
From ‘Big is Hot’ to ‘Small is Cool’ – we need to curb our culture of excess. From oversized SUVs to McMansions, it fuels environmental damage and inequality. Taxes could help us break the habit. @hausfath @ProfMarkMaslin @_HannahRitchie @ftopinion @bmay tinyurl.com/3wfjhb3p
From ‘Big is Hot’ to ‘Small is Cool’ – we need to tackle the fashion for bigger cars and homes and disposal clothing. Taxes could help us break the habit, making growth more sustainable and equitable @bmay @zerowastehome @venetialamanna @ajabarber tinyurl.com/h2chnk73

We need an Office for Sustainability Planning in the UK to embed realistic climate scenarios into government and business action: tinyurl.com/5caf4yfr @kingsbschool @DavidCarlin7 @topnigel
Targeting the growth in public sector net worth, rather than public debt, could transform the perception and performance of government in the UK. See my article for the Evening Standard tinyurl.com/2ryxtyrr @ChrisGiles_ @mehreenkhn @OBR_UK @_FinancialWorld #ukfiscal

Sticking by the @Conservatives’ debt rule is undermining @UKLabour’s aims to boost growth and investment. It should target national wealth instead. See my latest article for the Evening Standard tinyurl.com/4nub7kwr @joshsimonstweet @SThompson20 @RachelReevesMP #ukfiscal

Last week OMFIF Sustainable Policy Institute hosted an insightful roundtable on how pension funds are adapting to climate change 🌏
Key topics included navigating challenges from climate events, adapting investment strategies and reassessing risk models.

@markcliffe speaking at an @ippr event Monday with @Miatsf. What can @UKLabour can do in office to ensure that investments are based on real climate risks, not 'the world will carry on bau' scenarios. Pension money is sent to boost more damaging climate changes. @RachelReevesMP
