Great summary of our new paper with @gzachmanm below.
Encouraging words from @RachelReeves on ambitions for UK-EU:
“Economic gravity is reality … we are up for doing deals with India, US and other countries but half our trade is with the EU” … We are up for deeper alignment for more integration with the EU … including financial services.”
We agree:
This week’s heatwave shows how temperatures and rainfall patterns that used to be considered extremes are becoming the norm. But climate disasters don't have to become fiscal crises if EU countries plan better for adaptation investments and risk-sharing: see

Climate impacts will become a structural macro-fiscal problem. With low private insurance, EU governments are sleepwalking into becoming disaster insurers of last resort.
