Le chiffre de +2-3°C de réchauffement en ville en pleine canicule à cause de la clim a pour origine cette étude (Viguié et al 2020), écrite par des chercheurs de diverses institutions (CIRED, CNRM, CSTB), et publiée donc en 2020 :

Do you mean something like "maths wants to be free and open source and most mathematicians agree that's a very important core value, and it is perverse to pay them to take their thoughts out of the public domain" ?

What does it mean ? 100 percent real question

I'd love it to show solar PV for comparison

I hope that is true! Cannot help but wonder if the snowstorm is part of the reason

- a dollar spent on mitigation yields most in a rich country, while a dollar spent on poverty reduction (kind of the same thing anyway) yields most in a poor country
- the accounting of climate adaptation finance tends to exclude normal development finance for political reasons

To be sure I quoted that, but the whole piece is littered with what everyone seems to need to read about climate finance
-adaptation consists of my mostly private or locally public goods easy to fund, but impossible to measure
- mitigation is a global good but is mostly provided by private goods

"the misapprehension that because two things are both good things for the world...they need to be tackled together" 👌

The first words of my final blog for CGD before starting as Deputy Chief Economist at FCDO:

“Climate finance is a disaster.”

But the problem is not that there isn’t enough of it. It’s far worse than that. It’s that none of it makes sense, and we’ve designed it in a way that minimises its impact.

How do public policies stack up? Is the impact of two policies larger than the sum of its parts?

We look at this in the context of food - labels + price policies - & find they are *extremely* sub-additive.

Also, labels do way better than prices.

🧵

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Thank God. Those footnotes were tedious.

"aid shouldn’t be diverted away from high return projects in the poorest countries in order to help rich countries build a façade of global climate solidarity". Bold !
