Working with partners at the School and worldwide, 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.
May 15-16. - Environmental Populism Conference
Climate policy provides fertile ground for populist mobilisation for several reasons. While the scientific case for sustainability is clear and its economic and social benefits well-established, climate policies create winners and losers within and across countries. To take a key example, these policies require complex transfers, which are often infeasible or politically contentious. Those who bear the costs, especially poor countries and non-elite groups in richer countries, become natural targets for populist appeals.
This conference explores our understanding of the contentious politics of climate policy focusing on ideology, economic interests, and institutional design.
May 14-15. - LSE Environment Camp 2025
The Economics of Environment and Energy Programme (EEE) and the Programme on Innovation and Diffusion (POID) in the LSE Economics Department are pleased to announce the second LSE Environment Camp, taking place on May 14–15, 2025, at the LSE.

March 27-28. - Econometric Society Interdisciplinary Frontiers and CEPR- Economics+Climate Science (ESIFCLIM)
The Econometric Society Interdisciplinary Frontiers (ESIF) and CEPR conference on Economics+Climate Science, was be run in conjunction with and was hosted by the Barcelona School of Economics, in Barcelona, on March 27-28, 2025.
The purpose of the meeting was to foster interaction of ideas and methodologies from the areas of Climate Science and Economics. The conference featured keynote lectures and parallel sessions, bringing together scholars from both fields.
The main goal of the conference was 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.
