DESCRIPTION:<em>Public lecture by Professor Hans-Werner Sinn. Introduced and chaired by Robert Falkner.</em>

While humankind has to fight climate change\, the economic and technical constraints are severe. Local demand cuts may be countered by other countries’ increases due to price reactions. Resource owners may try to react with preemptive extraction. Bio energy may rival with food. Wind and solar energy may be too volatile. The lecture gave an overview of some of challenges and tries to point to potential solutions.
