UNESCO Chair webinar: The Macroeconomics of the Green Transition in Emerging Nations
Channel: UNU MERIT
Date: 2023-04-25

The energy transition towards renewable sources has a significant effect on macroeconomics, mainly through the cost of energy.

Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, are becoming increasingly competitive with traditional fossil fuels, which can lead to lower energy costs for consumers. However, the transition to renewable energy requires significant investments in new infrastructure and technologies, which can result in higher upfront costs. In the short term, this may lead to higher energy prices as businesses and consumers pay for the costs of the transition.

In this webinar, Andrés Velasco will share thoughts on how we can balance this tension to accomplish a successful energy transition.
