EAERE Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics: Transnational and Cascading Climate Risks and Adaptation
Call for Participation: EAERE Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics: Transnational and Cascading Climate Risks and Adaptation<https://eaere-summer-school.uni-graz.at/en/summer-school-2023/> The impacts of climate change materialize at the local level, yet physical connections e.g. via water sheds or international trade or migration trigger the transmission of climate change impacts across borders. Due to the high complexity of global supply chains, these transnational climate risks affect not only climate sensitive sectors such as agriculture, but also industrial and service sectors that are usually not at the center of climate change impact assessments. The IPCC and several national and international agencies have therefore identified transnational climate risks to be potentially very damaging, particularly for highly trade exposed countries. However, the economic literature on this issue is still emerging. The summer school therefore reviews different economic modeling approaches capable of assessing transnational and cascading climate risks. Lectures will cover different approaches to assess economic impacts and adaptation in various impact fields, such as flooding, heat, drought and migration etc. Additional topics are the modeling of response strategies, including international adaptation finance. Students will deepen their knowledge of their own core methodological experience, get a better understanding of complementary methods, and gain insights into novel modeling tools from related fields such as political science. 2 July 2023 - 8 July 2023 Location: Castle Seggau, close to the city of Graz (Austria) Organizer: University of Graz Scientific Coordinator: Francesco Bosello (CMCC) Local organizer: Birgit Bednar-Friedl, Uni Graz Faculty: Francesco Bosello, CMCC Associate professor of economics at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice & senior scientist at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) Cristina Cattaneo, EIEE Head of the research area on Human Migration, RFF-CMCC European Institute of the Environment (EIEE) Rob Dellink, OECD OECD Environment Directorate, Environment and Economy Integration Division Anil Markandya Distinguished Ikerbasque Professor at the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) & Honorary Professor of Economics, University of Bath Magnus Benzie, SEI Oxford (tbc) Stockholm Environmental Institute Oxford Application deadline: March 31st, 2023 More information about the scope of the Summer School and the application procedure can be found on the Summer School website: https://eaere-summer-school.uni-graz.at/en/summer-school-2023/ -- EAERE Summer School Secretariat University of Graz (Department of Economics and Wegener Center) A-8010 Graz, Austria https://eaere-summer-school.uni-graz.at
