Science and the Validity of an Economic Case for Action on Emissions-Meeting Report

A major objective of the first seminar in the 2013  series was to ascertain whether and how far the nature of discussion and analysis had moved on since the Stern Review,  both in terms of the science assessment and in terms of the economics framework for an overall assessment of policy towards climate issues.  Thanks to our excellent speakers/ discussants and informed and engaged participants,  this was largely achieved. This meeting report provides a  summary and assessment of the presentations and discussion of this first seminar.
