"The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate is launching a year-long study to analyze the economic costs and benefits of acting against climate change. The results of the study, which will be undertaken by research institutes on five continents, will be released in September 2014 — before a climate change conference that U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced Tuesday.
"The world faces two great challenges: to fight poverty and to fight global warming," Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said at the launch of the initiative on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. "We cannot choose between them."
