The Global Green Growth Institute in collaboration with Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment - London School of Ecnomics are holding a conference on the theme of 'Green Growth and the New Industrial Revolution'. It will be held on the 26th of March 2015 in London, England at the Royal Society of Arts.
This conference will present the key results from a two year research programme ‘Growth and the economy' conducted by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the LSE and supported by the Global Green Growth Institute. Several researchers have contributed blogs discussing their research to the GGKP Insights. These include the blogs: 'How can climate-smart agriculture help the poorest farmers?'; 'How to price carbon in good times… and bad'; and 'Exposing myths about green regulations'.
The conference aims to understand better the links between environmental protection, growth and development, and to strengthen the analytical and empirical underpinnings of the ‘green growth’ concept in relation to both developing and developed countries.
Keynote speakers at the conference include Professor Cameron Hepburn (University of Oxford and Grantham Research Institute) and Simon Upton (Environment Director, OECD).
The full day event will feature Grantham Research Institute researchers and invited experts and include sessions on the following:
- The ‘green growth’ narrative and the GRI research programme
- Macroeconomics: jobs, poverty and green growth
- Assessing the impacts of innovation and other climate-change policies
