Every year, human activity releases about 53 billion tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But many of the solutions needed to cut that pollution already exist, and economics can help us identify which ones can deliver the biggest impact at the lowest cost.

In this episode of EDF Explains, EDF Chief Economist Christopher Costello breaks down the economics of solving climate change and explores three powerful approaches: putting a price on carbon pollution, recognizing the value of nature, and reducing super pollutants like methane.

The economy doesn’t have to be the enemy of climate progress. By creating the right incentives, we can cut climate pollution quickly, affordably and at scale—while supporting economic growth.
