The Economics of Environment and Energ y Programme (EEE), International Growth Centre (IGC) and Programme on Innov ation and Diffusion (POID) within the LSE Economics Department will convene an Environment Week at the LSE from 20-23 September 2022. Working with par tners at the School and across the world we want to use Environment Week to encourage economists from all fields of economics to work on environmental issues and to connect this work to policy change.
This work is urgen tly needed given rising concerns over climate change, pollution and environ mental degradation. Achieving a better balance between human activity and t he natural environment, without sacrificing economic growth, represents a m ajor challenge. Confronting it will require large-scale innovation on multi ple dimensions: in how economic growth can be made cleaner, in how we contr ol different environmental externalities, and in how we protect human popul ations from environmental change.
Working out what these innovations are will require inputs from many fields of economics - development, macroe conomics, industrial organization, public, finance, labor, trade, urban, th eory, behavioral, political economy - as well as environmental, energy and climate.
Environment Week will convene at the LSE in London a communi ty of people working in this area to foster interaction within the group an d with public and private stakeholders to identify and scale these innovati ons.
We are soliciting papers from PhD students and faculty in all ar eas of the economics of environment and energy. The deadline is 18 July and we will notify authors (at latest) by 19 August.
