How climate policies are shaping the future of the labour market (HYBRID)
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Auditorium B: Frøystein Gjesdal
Location: Auditorium B: Frøystein Gjesdal
The shift to net-zero emissions requires a rapid transformation of key sectors, which will have a profound impact on workers and communities, particularly in regions already facing economic challenges. To mitigate such impacts, the Just Labor Transition framework focuses on creating fair, sustainable job opportunities while protecting livelihoods and addressing the geographic disparities in job...
Cambridge University Press Elements Series in Environmental and Natural Resources Economics (HYBRID)
2:30pm - 3:30pm
Auditorium B: Frøystein Gjesdal
Location: Auditorium B: Frøystein Gjesdal
\r\n This session will focus on the Elements Series in Environmental and Natural Resources Economics, a series from Cambridge University Press that provides accessible and interdisciplinary resources aimed at tackling critical environmental challenges. This session will bring together experts from economics, ecology, and policy to discuss the role of environmental economics in shaping...
Forests for the future: a policy discussion on the costs and benefits of negative FOLU emissions (HYBRID)
4:00pm - 5:00pm
Auditorium B: Frøystein Gjesdal
Location: Auditorium B: Frøystein Gjesdal
Forests are indispensable in mitigating climate change, serving as the second most important type of carbon sink, after oceans. According to FAO, more than 660 gigatons of carbon, which correspond to 2400 gigatons of CO2, are stored in forests. As countries prepare to submit the third round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, questions emerge regarding the...
Climate Change, the Macroeconomy and Monetary Policy (HYBRID)
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Auditorium C: Thore Johnsen
Location: Auditorium C: Thore Johnsen
Climate change may present challenges for macroeconomic policy and central banking. This session will explore how climate change and the global efforts to reach net-zero emissions will affect macroeconomic variables such as inflation and output, and their implications for monetary policy. The session will draw insights from recent analyses by the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS)...
Dealing with Import Dependence for Clean Energy Goods (HYBRID)
2:30pm - 3:30pm
Auditorium C: Thore Johnsen
Location: Auditorium C: Thore Johnsen
The increasing fragmentation of global supply chains and rising geopolitical tensions raise concerns about import dependence. These concerns are of particular importance for clean energy technologies and critical raw materials, which are not only essential for climate change mitigation but are also regarded as an important driver of future economic dynamics.\r\n\r\nThis policy session analyzes...
Economic Valuation in Practice – Health Effects and Benefit Transfer-Sharing new evidence and results for practical use in benefit cost analyses (HYBRID)
4:00pm - 5:00pm
Auditorium C: Thore Johnsen
Location: Auditorium C: Thore Johnsen
The field of valuation of health effects for use in cost-benefit analysis and other policy assessments continues to develop rapidly. Over the past decade, thousands of new estimates have been published on the value of statistical life from around the world and evidence on morbidity is following a similar path. In this session we propose to share results and models for valuation of mortality and...
The future of the green agenda in times of political turbulence and economic uncertainty (HYBRID)
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Auditorium D: Anna Mette Pagaard Fuglseth
Location: Auditorium D: Anna Mette Pagaard Fuglseth
Ten years on since the landmark Paris Agreement, limited progress has been achieved in terms of curbing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming. Predicted 2030 greenhouse gas emissions still must fall by 28 per cent for the Paris Agreement 2°C pathway and 42 per cent for the 1.5°C pathway.\r\n\r\nAccording to the UNEP Emissions Gap Report (2023), fully implementing unconditional...
Policymakers and Stakeholders Engagement for Uncertainty Communication: Fostering Collaborative Solutions in Water Governance (HYBRID)
2:30pm - 3:30pm
Auditorium D: Anna Mette Pagaard Fuglseth
Location: Auditorium D: Anna Mette Pagaard Fuglseth
Goal: Explore the critical role of stakeholder and policymakers engagement in communicating and managing uncertainties in environmental decision-making. Assess and discuss structured frameworks such as scenathons, robust participatory methods and serious games to enhance co- creation and actionable solutions in water resources governance. \r\n\r\n \r\nBackground. Water is a fundamental resource...
Getting Carbon Dioxide Removals Moving: What Role for Carbon Markets? (HYBRID)
4:00pm - 5:00pm
Auditorium D: Anna Mette Pagaard Fuglseth
Location: Auditorium D: Anna Mette Pagaard Fuglseth
Reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement will require, alongside steep emissions reductions, a significant amount of carbon dioxide removals (CDR) by 2050 to tackle residual emissions from hard-to-abate sectors. Although technologically achievable, the world is not yet on track to scale up these technologies fast enough. Last year, COP29 adopted new UN standards for the sector as well as...
Policy instrument mixes for a circular energy transition (HYBRID)
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Auditorium N: Agnar Sandmo
Location: Auditorium N: Agnar Sandmo
The energy transition is necessary to achieve climate goals and to reduce harmful emissions for humans and nature. It also promises a gradual elimination of the long-standing dependence on countries that produce fossil fuels. However, the rapid market growth of renewable energy technologies, electric vehicles and large batteries also poses new challenges for the management of resources and waste...
Advancing environmental economics to support integrated climate-biodiversity-pollution policymaking (HYBRID)
2:30pm - 3:30pm
Auditorium N: Agnar Sandmo
Location: Auditorium N: Agnar Sandmo
The “Triple planetary crisis”, which collectively refers to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, poses a growing and significant threat to human health, well-being and the environment. These three planetary challenges are closely interlinked. Beyond their direct biophysical connections (e.g., the negative impact of a warmer climate and pollution on biodiversity), they share many...
Nature-based Solutions: cost-effectiveness and innovative financing strategies (HYBRID)
4:00pm - 5:00pm
Auditorium N: Agnar Sandmo
Location: Auditorium N: Agnar Sandmo
This session will bring together experts and practitioners to discuss challenges, opportunities and innovations in the deployment of nature-based solutions (NBS) for hazard mitigation and climate adaptation.\r\n\r\nThe Fifth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-5) (UNEP 2022b) resolution formally adopted the definition of NBS as “actions to protect, conserve, restore, sustainabl...
Valuation of Natural Capital: From Theory to Practice (HYBRID)
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Auditorium M: Jan Mossin
Location: Auditorium M: Jan Mossin
The pressure of climate change and its interaction with biodiversity change call for societal action but also careful long-term capacity building. Target 14 of the Kunming- Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is to ensure the full integration of biodiversity and its multiple values into policies, regulations, planning and development processes. This is to guide the use and conservation of...
Rebound Effects from Circular Economy Practices: Pathways and Policy Options (HYBRID)
2:30pm - 3:30pm
Auditorium M: Jan Mossin
Location: Auditorium M: Jan Mossin
This session will delve into rebound effects linked to resource efficiency measures and circular economy strategies. While advancements in resource efficiency and technology aim to deliver environmental benefits, they can sometimes trigger behaviours or economic changes that diminish or negate these gains. For example, resource-saving policies and corporate initiatives, despite their potential...
Food, the environment and the economy: demand-side interventions for sustainable food systems and lessons for supermarkets and policy-makers
4:00pm - 5:00pm
Auditorium M: Jan Mossin
Location: Auditorium M: Jan Mossin
Current food systems are a major source of environmental challenges for governments and society, by generating more than one third of global greenhouse gas emissions – contributing to climate change – and by causing other environmental impacts, such as land use change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity and air pollution. All these environmental impacts negatively affect the welfare of society and...
