Climate change is a defining challenge of our times. The five papers collected in this special issue provide foundations to well-informed policymaking by addressing two main themes of the economic geography of climate change. First, it brings effects that are heterogeneous across space. Some regions of the globe will lose more than others and some may even be better off as a result. Second, humans will have to adapt in order to survive. We emphasize how the lack of mobility could contribute to worsening the socioeconomic costs of climate change. This issue also considers alternative margins of adjustment, such as fertility, specialization and trade.

论气候变化的经济地理学

气候变化是我们这个时代的决定性挑战。本期特刊收集的五篇论文通过解决气候变化经济地理学的两个主要主题，为明智的政策制定奠定了基础。首先，它带来了跨空间的异质效应。全球某些地区将比其他地区损失更多，有些地区甚至可能因此变得更好。其次，人类必须适应才能生存。我们强调缺乏流动性如何导致气候变化的社会经济成本恶化。本期还考虑了其​​他调整余量，例如生育率、专业化和贸易。
