The Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change
Dimitri Zenghelis is a UK government economic adviser who has spent the last year working with Sir Nicholas Stern on the Stern Review on Economics of Climate Change, commissioned by Chancellor Gordon Brown. The Review was intended not just to inform UK policymaking – UK makes up only 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions – but to underpin discussions about the wider international policy framework. Sir Nicholas Sterns report was submitted to the Chancellor and the Prime Minister on 30 October 2006. Dimitri Zenghelis was lead author on the costs of mitigation, model analyses and comparisons, competitiveness impacts, and a significant contributor to the conceptual, theoretical and ethical framework adopted in analysing the economics of climate change. He is also the joint-lead in disseminating and presenting the Review post-publication.
