Cli­mate change

TagLast edit: Aug 26, 2022, 3:02 PM by Pablo

Climate change has the potential to result in—and to some extent is already resulting in—increased natural disasters, increased water and food insecurity, and widespread species extinction and habitat loss.

Evaluation

80,000 Hours rates reducing extreme risks from climate change a “second-highest priority area”: an unusually pressing global problem ranked slightly below their four highest priority areas.[1]

Recommendations

In The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity, Toby Ord offers several policy and research recommendations for handling risks from climate change:[2]
