Recent events have sharpened the need for a stable forum for researchers at the intersection of economics and climate change. Continued opportunities for recognition and collaboration are indispensable to the advancement of our understanding of the economic aspects of climate impacts and policies.

The inaugural TMEC brings together leading experts from economics and related fields to examine the economic dimensions of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Focus areas include:

• Climate impacts in economic equilibrium

• Market feasibility and adoption of green technologies

• Adaptation and mitigation policy, technologies, and obstacles

• Climate impacts on markets, agriculture, health, and other outcomes

• Economic and spatial inequality in climate impacts

• Sustainable development and growth

• Behavioral aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation

Registration is now closed.

Presenting is by invitation only, due to time constraints in organizing the event. In future years, we plan to solicit open submissions. Attendance for non-presenters is free and applications for non-presenting attendees are open to scholars (faculty, postdocs, and graduate students) across fields and in the public and nonprofit sectors. Space is limited and registration is not guaranteed.

The registration deadline is April 20.
