About the Author
William D. Nordhaus is a renowned economist and Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale University, where he has taught since 1967. A pioneer in the field of environmental economics, Nordhaus developed the Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy (DICE) model, which integrates economic growth with climate change dynamics to assess policy impacts. His groundbreaking research earned him the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2018 for integrating climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis. Nordhaus's work emphasizes the economic costs of global warming and the need for carbon pricing mechanisms to mitigate risks. In 'The Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty, and Economics for a Warming World,' he elucidates the uncertainties of climate policy through an accessible economic lens, urging informed decision-making in the face of environmental challenges. His contributions continue to shape international climate policy debates.
