The Mission

The Econometric Society Interdisciplinary Frontiers (ESIF) and CEPR conference on Economics+Climate Science, will be run in conjunction with and will be hosted by the Barcelona School of Economics, in Barcelona, on March 27-28.

The purpose of the meeting is to foster interaction of ideas and methodologies from the areas of Climate Science and Economics. The conference will feature keynote lectures and parallel sessions, bringing together scholars from both fields.

The main goal of the conference is to bring together climate researchers and economists to advance our common understanding of major research and policy gaps in mitigation actions, and to foster ideas and work surrounding implementation of mitigation actions and policies. Key examples are how to speed up the energy transition and deal with its bottlenecks, how to direct efforts to hard-to-abate sectors, how to induce effective and faster behavioral change, and how nature based solutions can be effectively activated.
