Description
Summary:The impact of climate change on economic inequality has attracted increasing attention from both government and academia. Here, we present a protocol for estimating both the impact of climate change on economic growth and economic growth inequality under multiple climate policies. We describe steps for constructing an uncertainty analysis framework, collecting and pre-processing data, and estimating the climate-economic response. We then detail procedures of predicting climate policy impact and calculating inter-country economic growth inequality. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Tang et al. (2023).1 [Display omitted] •Estimates the loss-response relationship between climate change and economic growth•Construct an uncertainty framework for assessing climate policy under 68 scenarios•Project the impact of climate policies on economic growth in different future periods•Calculate inter-country economic growth inequality under climate policies Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
