3rd Annual LSE Workshop in Environmental Economics

We are pleased to announce that the third LSE Workshop in Environmental Economics will take place online on 22-23 June 2020. 

This year we have partnered with Imperial College London and the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. 

COVID-19 (coronavirus) update

Please note that due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the LSE Workshop in Environmental Economics will be moved online. 

Our annual workshop brings together top scholars from around the world to share their latest research. The workshop is also a great platform to identify areas where further academic work is needed and to foster new collaborations.

The programme will consist of full paper presentations, a session of egg-timer presentations for early career researchers (PhDs/Postdocs), and a policy session.
