I had a fascinating conversation with Adrien Vogt-Schilb for an article about the potential co-benefits of decarbonisation. But I didn’t have anywhere near enough words there to do his work justice, so we ran an edited transcript of the whole interview in issue 07 of The Possible, the magazine I edit on behalf of global engineer WSP.
Vogt-Schilb is a climate economist at the Inter-American Development Bank, part of a team that has produced an exhaustive cost-benefit analysis of Costa Rica’s national decarbonisation plan. The takeaway is that the transformation could make it US$41bn better off by 2050 – even if other countries do absolutely nothing and climate change continues unabated. Read the interview here.
