Julie Rozenberg (World Bank) at the CHIPS final event “Current Crises and Future Climate Change: How to prevent rising inequality and societal conflict"
The CHIPS final event, titled "Current Crises and Future Climate Change: How to prevent rising inequality and societal conflict", took place on 27 February 2023 as an online event.
The event aimed at discussing the project's results in the context of the current challenges to inequality: The achievements in reducing inequality over the last decades are currently threatened by multiple crises: the energy and food crisis caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, as well as the increasing impacts of climate change. This has the potential to cause or reinforce societal conflicts worldwide. Sustainable policy solutions have to include the different short- and long-term effects to protect especially the most vulnerable groups. Distributional consequences of climate change policies and impacts and how to best address them on different scales were subject of the CHIPS project. Results comprise advanced integrated assessment models, now including subnational inequalities, and bottom-up microsimulation and empirical studies of inequality complementing the global approach.
