Workshop overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This workshop brought together applied economists to present and discuss research on jobs, wages, mobility, skills and organisational change linked to decarbonisation. The workshop aimed to accelerate frontier empirical work, foster collaboration both for research and impact. The programme focused on research that leverages novel data and econometric techniques to study the impact of the green transition on labour markets. This workshop was supported by funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) through the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy (CCCEP) and the LSE Global School of Sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
