On 27-28 June 2022, the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE) is hosting a pre-conference workshop - The Economics of a Just and Equitable Transition in Rimini, Italy.
This event will stimulate discussions on how methods in environmental and resource economics can contribute to assess and quantify the impact of the low-carbon transition on certain parts of society and how they can be alleviated. It will present approaches to identify policies that can be put in place to correct pre-existing and transition-induced inequalities.
The workshop is organized into three thematic sessions: workforce and employment, vulnerable households and firms, and public acceptance. Each session will present short talks by invited speakers, followed by discussion among participants. A final round table discussion will gather reaction from high-profile individuals engaged in research and policy-making.
