In this video, the role of institutions, and demand-driven fiscal & monetary policies in the fight against the climate crisis are described. The impact of income distribution on pollution and the pivotal function of green investments are also explained.

Comment from our editors:

In tackling the vast global challenge that is climate change, a number of different ideas and ways of thinking must be considered to come up with the right solutions. In terms of economic ideas, the post-keynesian approach is certainly one that should be considered among many.
