In this episode, we dive into the fascinating intersection of game theory and environmental economics. We explore how concepts like the prisoner’s dilemma, tragedy of the commons, and stag hunt game help explain global challenges in climate policy and sustainability. Why do countries struggle to cooperate on environmental issues? How do incentives shape corporate and governmental decision-making? And can solutions like property rights, independent regulatory bodies, and long-term agreements overcome free-rider problems? Join us as we break down these critical economic and political dynamics in the fight against climate change.
