The FT reports that there is to be a kind of global Stern Report next year.

The UK has teamed up with Norway, Sweden and four other nations to launch an $8.9m assessment of the economic costs and benefits of tackling climate change.

In what some are calling “Stern 2.0”, the study is expected to build on the 2006 UK review of the economics of climate change by British economist, Lord Nicholas Stern, who will act as a reviewer of the new work.

The team also includes Michael Jacobs, who was at the centre of the Stern report project. I guess they don't want anybody to believe a word of it then.
