Engineering climate debt: temperature overshoot and peak-shaving as risky subprime mortgage lending

2019

Scholarly Work

Shinichiro Asayama, Mike Hulme

This paper argues that an 'overshoot and peak-shaving' strategy comes with a risk of escalating ‘climate debt’ and explains its position using an analogy of subprime mortgage lending.
