Diego Känzig, Assistant Professor of Economics at Northwestern University, presents new research at the intersection of climate economics and macroeconomics. He examines how global temperature increases affect mortality by tracing both direct effects and indirect economic pathways, including impacts on labour, health systems and economic resilience. The lecture explores empirical methods and policy-relevant implications, offering insights on how warming translates into human costs and what this means for economic modelling and public policy.
