Ep 2 | The social implications of carbon pricing with Prof. Ottmar Edenhofer

In this podcast we interviewed Prof. Ottmar Edenhofer, Professor of the Economics of Climate Change at the Technical University of Berlin, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), and Director of the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change in Berlin (MCC). In this interview we ask Prof. Edenhofer about the social implications of the EU ETS II and about the Social Climate Fund. One take-away is that using the ETS revenues for social compensation will be key to sustain public support for carbon pricing.

The interview was led by Marie Raude and Lea Heinrich, Research Associates at the Climate Team of the Florence School of Regulation.
