OBJECTIVE

This workshop brings together early-career economists and political scientists studying one of the key challenges of the 21st century: climate change.

The aim is to provide a platform to exchange ideas and build networks that can drive innovative and impactful research. The workshop features presentations by scholars from leading universities in Europe who study the drivers and consequences of climate change from a political economy perspective.

This workshop is supported by the Department of Economics, the Bruno Latour Fund and Sciences Po's Interdisciplinary Workshop on Environmental Research (Atelier Interdisciplinaire de Recherches sur l'Environnement - AIRE).
