Dear Colleagues, we warmly would like to invite you to a high-profile Panel Discussion and Conference on 3 June 2022 from 9.30 am - 2.30 pm at the Library Center at WU Vienna. How does a globally and regionally fair climate policy work? WIFO Director and WU Professor Gabriel Felbermayr will discuss this with Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler, Eugénia Da Conceição-Heldt (TU Munich) and Ottmar Edenhofer (TU Berlin, MCC, PIK) on 3 June 2022 at 1:00 p.m. The discussion will be led by ORF moderator Marcus Wadsak. The panel discussion will take place in German language at the campus of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (Building LC, Festsaal 2, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna) as part of the project "The Role of Structural Change and Distributional Effects" (ROCHADE). WU Vienna and WIFO are local partners. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Austrian National Bank are sponsoring the event. The panel discussion will be preceded by an English based, scientific ROCHADE conference. Do ambitious climate policies prevent economic development? Do rising CO2 prices burden poor households in the global South in particular? These questions will be discussed with leading international scholars researching the development and distributional impacts of climate policy and the transformation of the global energy system.
