Michael Jakob: Climate Transition Economics

A chapter in The Case Against Climate Doom, 2025, pp 127-135 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Social, political, and technological aspects relevant for a transition to a net-zero economy influence each other, generating a lock-in of emission-intensive modes of production and consumption. Such feedback loops, however, also mean that once a critical inflection point is reached, rapid progress toward successfully addressing climate change is feasible. This outlook chapter puts the progress discussed in the previous chapters in the context of recent political developments. It concludes by discussing feasible ways forward to advance meaningful climate action.
