Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions
In a University of Chicago News article, faculty fellow William Pizer commented on the need for a consistently used and rigorously maintained estimate of climate damages. “It’s important that we draw on the expertise of all government agencies, as well as independent experts in the field,” Pizer said. “This level of high-quality collaboration and peer review would decrease the likelihood of political factors interfering with the process, and ensure we have the most robust Social Cost of Carbon.” Pizer was lead author of a Science magazine article on the subject.
