This lecture discusses the importance of discount rates in policy-making, highlighting the need for sustainable decision-making over long time horizons, especially in the context of climate policy. The instructor emphasizes the limitations of traditional discounting methods when applied to complex global challenges, such as climate change, and proposes the consideration of ethical norms to guide optimal discounting parameters for climate policies.
