Transition risk: The human cost of net zero

This is a re-post from The Climate Brink by Andrew Dessler I am finalizing a textbook on climate risk and am posting chapters as I finish them. I’d previously posted chapters about embedded energy and physical climate risk ; this post is a chapter on transition risk, the economic and social risks of the transition to a clean-energy economy. Introduction In the context of climate risk, transition risk encompasses the economic and social risks associated with a shift towards a low-carbon economy.
