Abstract: This talk brings the study of growth models and climate change together under the assumption that the policy priority of economic growth will remain central. The relevant research question from a Growth Model perspective thus becomes ‘to what extent can existing Growth Models switch from carbon-based growth to green growth?’ To answer this question, the presentation explores growth models and national decarbonization capacity from a number of comparative and international political economy perspectives. It starts with national energy systems and balance sheets and ends with international monetary and commodity flows.
