In this episode of This Climate Business, Vicktoria Blake talks with Shamubeel Eaqub, Chief Economist at Simplicity, about how economists make sense of the world and why climate change is increasingly an economic issue, not just an environmental one.
From inflation and investment to insurance, agriculture and infrastructure, Shamubeel explains how climate risks are likely to shape New Zealand’s economy in the decades ahead. The conversation also explores how Simplicity approaches responsible investing, whether financial markets are properly pricing climate risk, and where the biggest opportunities may lie in the transition to a low-emissions future.
