May 28, 2009 - The world-renowned economist and former World Bank Chief Economist Lord Nicholas Stern made headlines with the publication of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change. This report for the UK government outlined the risks posed by climate change, the costs of addressing it, and the far greater costs of inaction. In his new book, The Global Deal, Climate Change and the Creation of a New Era of Progress and Prosperity, Nicholas Stern builds on his earlier work. In our conversation with Nicholas, he talks about the specific steps to save our planet. The book is available at www.worldbank.org/infoshop
