摘要

British economist Nicholas Stern's Why Are We Waiting? revolves around an ethical argument he made a decade ago on the economics of climate change in his famous "Stern Review." Stern pushes total intergenerational equity: we should not discount future generations' welfare simply because they do not yet exist. It's a bold position that's unpopular among his economist peers, and it pushes Stern to endorse dozens of policy options to address climate change throughout this new book. Sterns policy pluralism is appealing in many ways. But the rest of his book stands on a jumbled account of political economy and history-in particular, the history of energy transitions which are so crucial to his argument about climate action. With this shaky foundation, it's disappointing but not surprising that Stern doesn't convincingly answer his own question: Why are we waiting on climate action?
