SUMMARY:Webinar – Investigating equivalent black carbon (eBC) in an urban environment: spatial analysis and personal exposure of school-age children in Milan
DESCRIPTION:  \nTITLE: Investigating equivalent black carbon (eBC) in an urban environment: spatial analysis and personal exposure of school-age children in Milan \nSpeaker: Luca Boniardi\, Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health\, University of Milan\nModerator: Lara Aleluia Reis\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\n\n \nAbstract:\nAir pollution is a global threat to public health\, especially if considering susceptible populations\, such as children. Among others\, equivalent black carbon (eBC) is a primary air pollutant strictly linked with fossil fuels combustion\, i.e\, one of the main sources of air pollution in the urban environment. Besides\, it represents a valuable indicator of adverse health effects related to airborne particles and it is recognized as an important climate forcing agent. The aim of this contribution is presenting the results of a three-year participatory-based research focused on both spatial and temporal distribution of eBC starting from a school catchment area of the Municipality of Milan\, as well as an analysis of the personal exposure of children aged 8-10 years.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar - The economic cost of climate change
DESCRIPTION:Title: The economic cost of climate change \nSpeaker: Leonie Wenz\, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) \nModerator: Laurent Drouet\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment \nAbstract: Climate conditions have been shown to have a profound impact on various productive elements of the economy\, measurable at the macro-level as changes in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). There is however huge uncertainty as to how big this impact is and if climate shocks affect economic growth also in the long-run. I will present new evidence gained from a unique data set of subnational economic output that comprises more than 1500 regions in 77 countries and discuss implications for climate policy. Specifically\, in recent work\, we have empirically estimated historic temperature impacts at different time scales\, from daily fluctuations to changes in the long-term mean. Our findings show that temperature changes affect productivity levels considerably\, in particular in low-income\, low-latitude regions. Based on our results\, we have projected economic damages under future warming and updated estimates of the social cost of carbon.

SUMMARY:RFF Live | Carbon Border Measures: What Happens with Ambitious Climate Policies?
DESCRIPTION:  \nAmbitious climate policies to achieve net-zero emissions are at risk if international trade leads to leakage—when the source of emissions shifts to jurisdictions with less ambitious policies in place. This event will examine the extent of emissions leakage based on increasingly ambitious policy scenarios. It will then report on the effectiveness of border measures to mitigate leakage\, particularly in economically sensitive sectors. \nJoin us for a virtual RFF Live event on Wednesday\, November 3\, as an international set of scholars present recent modeling results that explore the implications of policy proposals currently being considered in the European Union and United States on emissions leakage and climate ambition. \nSpeakers\n• Carolyn Fischer\, Resources for the Future\, World Bank\n• Takashi Homma\, RITE Systems Analysis Group\n• Ramiro Parrado\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\n• Billy Pizer\, Resources for the Future (Moderator)

SUMMARY:Expert Workshop on Economic modelling of climate and related tipping points
DESCRIPTION:The OECD is organising a virtual Expert Workshop on Economic modelling of climate and related tipping points. \nThe workshop will take place on the 18th and 19th of October\, from 14:00-16:45 (CEST). \nThe workshop will bring together outstanding experts to discuss the current state of scientific understanding surrounding abrupt changes to the climate and economic systems due to climate change and climate-related policies. Models that underpin most economic analyses of climate change rarely include the possibility of abrupt changes to the climate or economic systems. Nevertheless\, such changes – climate and related tipping points – are a major determinant of the optimal level of policy effort. \nPlease click here for additional information on the workshop and for the detailed agenda. \nThe workshop will take place via Zoom and advance registration is required. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the event.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar - Gabriel Kreindler (Harvard)
DESCRIPTION:SWEEEP Webinar with Gabriel Kreindler (Harvard) –  \nOptimal Public Transport Networks: Evidence from the World’s Largest Bus Rapid Transit System in Jakarta \n\nDescription \nOptimal Public Transport Networks: Evidence from the World’s Largest Bus Rapid Transit System in Jakarta\n(joint with Arya Gaduh\, Tilman Graff\, Rema Hanna\, and Benjamin A. Olken)\n\nDesigning public transport networks involves tradeoffs between extensive geographic coverage\, frequent service on each route\, and relying on interconnections as opposed to direct service. These choices\, in turn\, depend on individual preferences for walking to stations\, waiting for buses\, and transfers. We study these tradeoffs by examining the world’s largest bus rapid transit system\, in Jakarta\, Indonesia\, leveraging both a series of bus network expansions and a randomized bus allocation experiment. Using detailed ridership data and aggregate travel flows from smartphone data\, we analyze how new direct connections\, changes in bus travel time\, and wait time reductions increase ridership. We then estimate a transit demand model with multi-dimensional travel costs\, matching moments from the route launches. We find riders are highly sensitive to wait time. Finally\, we find the optimal bus network numerically and study how its shape depends on the measured travel preference parameters.\n\n\n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:The coal phase-out and the labour market transition pathways: the case of Poland
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe study the labour market transition pathways driven by the coal phase-out in Poland between 1990 and 2050. First\, we apply the concept of branching points to describe the transformation of coal mining in the context of three labour market trends: structural changes\, demographically driven changes in the labour supply\, and educational upgrading. We show that in the 1990s and 2000s\, the labour market options of the miners who lost their jobs were poor\, as the trajectories of all of these trends worsened their labour market prospects. However\, as these trends have reversed since the 2010s\, it is likely that in the future\, the employment effects and the social consequences of the coal phase-out in Poland will be more positive than they were in the past. Second\, we find substantial homogeneity in the employment structures of mining subregions and of particular mines\, which suggests that regional approaches to managing the transition are possible. Third\, our projection of the supply of and the demand for labour up to 2050 indicates that decarbonisation will lead to a surplus of Polish hard coal mining workers by 2030. However\, the projected shortages of workers in other industrial sectors will create opportunities for worker reallocation that should be facilitated by policy measures. \nSpeakers\nJan Frankowski\, Institute for Structural Research (IBS)\, University of Warsaw\, Poland\nJakub Sokołowski\, Institute for Structural Research and University of Warsaw\nJoanna Mazurkiewicz\, Poznań University of Economics and Business and Institute for Structural Research\nModerator: Luis Sarmiento\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy

SUMMARY:RFF- CMCC Navigate Webinar  30 June 2021
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has consistently outpaced expectations over the past decade. However\, long-term prospects for PV remain deeply uncertain\, as recent global scenarios span two orders of magnitude in installed PV capacity by 2050. In this study\, authors systematically compile an ensemble of 1\,550 scenarios from peer-reviewed and influential grey literature\, including IPCC and non-IPCC scenarios\, and apply a statistical learning framework to link scenario characteristics with foreseen PV outcomes. Results show that a large portion of the uncertainty in the global scenarios is associated with general features such as the type of organization\, energy model and policy assumptions\, without referring to specific techno-economic assumptions. IPCC scenarios consistently project lower PV adoption pathways and higher capital costs than non-IPCC scenarios. In the work here presented\, authors thus recommend increasing the diversity of models and scenario methods included in IPCC assessments to represent the multiple perspectives present in the PV scenario literature. \nSpeaker: Marc Jaxa-Rozen\, University of Geneva\, Switzerland\nDiscussant: Sibel Eker\, Energy\, Climate\, and Environment (ECE) Program at IIASA\, Austria Moderator: Céline Guivarch\, CIRED\, Ecole des Ponts\, France

SUMMARY:CMCC-RFF Policy Session: Policies to promote a Just Transitions – lessons from the EU and the US
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nCMCC and RFF jointly organized a session entitled “Policies to support workers and communities in the transition to clean energy economies in the US and the EU” during the last EAERE Conference (EAERE 2020\, virtual). At the session\, participants laid the basis for cooperative work around the topics of how to promote an equitable clean energy transition for workers and fossil-fuel dependent communities\, with particular focus on the design and implementation of specific transition policies.Over the past year\, many political and policy development were implemented. Over this period\, the participants to the EAERE 2020 policy session worked to draft research papers and policy briefs analyzing how several policies both in the US and in Europe could support a Just Transition towards carbon neutral societies.\nThis policy session will showcase the progress made by the different research teams “one year after”\, including the research jointly carried out over the past year and other activities pursued within ReNEWT (Research Network on Energy Workforce Transitions)\, a research network on equitable transition which was strengthened over the past months (https://www.renewt.org/).\nThe different teams will discuss their novel contributions to the understanding of\, and the debate around\, the principal socio-economic challenges facing coal and carbon-intensive regions today. The session will highlight successful strategies which have emerged in recent years and the principal differences between regions and countries that are coping well and those that are not. The debate will then be linked to recent policy developments\, including a discussion of the Just Transition Fund and Just Transition Mechanisms within the broader context of the European Green Deal. Panelists will also highlight the implication emerging from the COVID19 pandemic on energy transition in carbon intensive regions. Discussions will further push the debate\, started last year\, around how to devise more effective ways of involving citizens and better understand energy-related views and attitudes\, ultimately leading to greater social acceptability as well as more durable governance arrangements and socioeconomic benefits. \nParticipants\n\nPetrescu\, Senior Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Founder and President of Pur si simplu verde (Simply Green). She will contribute with a discussion of Just Transition challenges in Romania\nLook\, is senior research associate at Resource for the Future (RFF).

SUMMARY:Heterogeneous transition expectations and capital investment choice
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe aim of this article is to study how heterogeneous expectations concerning the low-carbon technological transition affect aggregate capital investment choices in the electricity sector. We develop a simple model where firms choose between two technological options by evaluating their future profitability prospects\, within a finite planning horizon. Profit expectations are affected by beliefs about the speed of the technological transition and the associated stranding of existing high-carbon capital stocks. We assume firms’ transition expectations to be distributed around a central expectation scenario characterised by `rational stranding’\, and heterogeneity of opinions to increase non linearly in psychological time. We then explore the space defined by our set of behavioural parameters\, and study how central transition expectations\, opinion diversity and planning horizons affect the allocation of physical investments between the two technologies.

SUMMARY:A lab in the (track and) field? The effect of air pollution on physical performance: Evidence from sports competitions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n“A lab in the (track and) field? The effect of air pollution on physical performance: Evidence from sports competitions”A large share of the world’s population is employed in manual labor. This paper estimates the effect of air pollution on purely physical tasks analyzing half a million amateur track and field competition results. In contrast to previous studies\, the setting allows excluding productivity effects through the cognitive channel. Exploiting the panel nature of the data and high dimensional fixed effects\, I find that a 10 µg/m3 increase in PM 2.5 reduces performance by 1.1% of a standard deviation. The effect grows with the duration of effort\, indicating that occupations requiring low-intensity and sustained effort may be more affected by air pollution than occupations requiring occasional short but intense bursts of energy. \nFrancesco Granella

SUMMARY:Net Zero Emission Pathways Reduce the Physical and Economic Risks of Change
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nMitigation pathways exploring end-of-century temperature targets entail varying degrees of temperature overshoot. The intertemporal consequences of overshoot have been typically evaluated from the point of view of mitigation. \nHere\, we provide the first assessment of the benefits of limiting overshoot via an ensemble of integrated assessment models. We compute physical and macroeconomic probabilistic indicators of temperature overshoot pathways for different warming targets. Temperature overshooting affects the full distribution of many critical physical impacts\, such as those associated with heat extremes.\nWe show that limiting overshoot reduces risk in the right tail of the distribution\, in particular for low-temperature targets such as 1.5C. Overshooting leads to lower short-term mitigation costs. However\, our analysis allows us to fully appreciate the significant economic gains arising after 2050 from avoided impacts and reduced mitigation efforts resulting from early investments. The analysis highlights the need to integrate climate benefits in mitigation pathways and to account for fat-tailed distributions. \nDr. Laurent Drouet\, Dr. Ken Oshiro\, Prof. Valentina Bosetti\, Dr. Keywan Riahi\, Prof. Detlef van Vuuren\, Prof. Massimo Tavoni\, Dr. Christoph Bertram\, Johannes Emmerling\, Dr. Lara Aleluia Reis\, Dr. Franziska Piontek\, Dr. Mathijs Harmsen

SUMMARY:Enabling Fairness for Energy Workers and Communities in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe report is the culmination of a series of papers prepared by Resources for the Future (RFF)\, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF)\, and other partners that examine policies and programs to promote fairness for workers and communities in a transition to a low–greenhouse gas emissions economy\, often referred to as a just transition. The series looks at existing public policies and programs\, grouped thematically as “tools in the toolbox” for policymakers seeking effective strategies to address challenges associated with transition. We focus on policies and programs that can support workers and communities in regions where coal\, oil\, or natural gas production or consumption has been a leading employer and driver of prosperity. Other reports in the series present illustrative cases in the United States and describe policy innovation abroad. \nSpeakers\nDaniel Raimi\, Resources for the Future (RFF)\nWesley Look\, Resources for the Future (RFF) \nModerator: Marion Dumas\, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

SUMMARY:Pandemic stimulus spending and the fight against climate change
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nCEPR/EAERE Webinar on Climate Policy: Pandemic stimulus spending and the fight against climate changean online webinar of the CEPR Research and Policy Network on Climate Change.\nClimate change is a long-term threat to human societies with expected huge impacts on health\, economies and welfare. Somehow similar to a pandemic\, but with more persistent and irreversible consequences. Even more than the fight against Covid-19\, climate change control is a difficult and complex task\, which requires well-designed policies and important financial resources. The post-pandemic recovery is an important opportunity if policies to address the current pandemic are and will be designed to achieve stronger\, sustainable\, and low carbon economic growth. The Covid-19 pandemic has indeed triggered the deepest global economic contraction since World War II. While most economies are expected to rebound in 2021-2022\, the impact of the pandemic on many aspects of economy and emission drivers may last far longer. Therefore\, a strong alignment of Covid-19 recovery packages with climate targets has the potential to address two important objectives: economic recovery and decarbonisation. This webinar will analyse these issues starting from lessons from past pandemics and then focusing on the implications of recovery plans for the fight against climate change. \nThursday\, 10 June 2021\n17:00 – 17: 05 – Introduction by Carlo Carraro (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and CEPR)\n17:05 – 17: 30 – In and Out of Pandemics: Sustainability Lessons from the Recent Past Massimo Tavoni (European Institute on Environmental Economics)\n17:30 – 17:55 – Pandemic Stimulus Spending.

SUMMARY:Critical reflection of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) scenarios
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIntegrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have emerged as key tools for building and assessing long term climate mitigation scenarios. Due to their central role in the recent IPCC assessments\, and international climate policy analyses more generally\, and the high uncertainties related to future projections\, IAMs have been critically assessed by scholars from different fields receiving various critiques ranging from the adequacy of their methods to how their results are used and communicated. Although IAMs are conceptually diverse and evolved in very different directions\, they tend to be criticized under the umbrella of “IAMs”. In this paper\, authors first briefly summarise the IAM landscape and how models differ from each other. They then proceed to discuss six prominent critiques emerging from the recent literature\, reflect and respond to them in the light of IAM diversity and ongoing work and suggest ways forward. The six critiques relate to (1) representation of heterogeneous actors in the models\, (2) modelling of technology diffusion and dynamics\, (3) representation of capital markets\, (4) energy-economy feedbacks\, (5) policy scenarios\, and (6) interpretation and use of model results. \nPaper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abe5d8/meta. \nSpeaker\nIsabela Butnar\, UCL Energy Institute\, UCL\, UK \nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy \nCo-authors panel:\nRepresentation of heterogeneity: Oreane Edelenbosch\, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency\, Netherlands Technology diffusion and dynamics: Isabela Butnar\, UCL Energy Institute\, UCL\, UK\nCapital markets/finance: Panagiotis Fragkos\, E3-Modelling\, Greece\nEconomy/feedbacks energy – economy: Julien Lefèvre\, CIRED\, AgroParisTech\, Université de Paris-Saclay\, France\nPolicy instruments: Roberto Schaeffer\, COPPE\, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\nUse and interpretation of the model results: Will McDowall\, UCL Energy Institute\, UCL\, UK \n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series on “Building codes and community resilience to natural disasters” by Patrick Baylis
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nNatural disaster losses can be mitigated through investments in structure hardening. When property owners do not correctly perceive risks or there are spatial externalities\, it may be beneficial to mandate such investments through building codes. We provide the first comprehensive evaluation of the effect of California’s wildfire building codes on structure survival. We combine administrative damage data from several states\, representing almost all U.S. homes destroyed by wildfire since 2007. We merge this damage data to the universe of assessor data for destroyed and surviving homes inside wildfire perimeters. There are remarkable vintage effects in resilience for California homes built after 1995. Using differences in code requirements across jurisdictions\, we show that these vintage effects are due to state and local building code changes prompted by the deadly 1991 Oakland Firestorm. Moreover\, we find that these improvements increase the survival probability of neighboring homes due to reduced structure-to-structure spread. Our results imply that property losses during recent wildfire seasons would have been several billion dollars smaller if all older homes had been built to current standards.

SUMMARY:Energy Use for Adaptation: State-of-the-art and advancements in Integrated Assessment Modelling
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\nENERGYA First Scientific Workshop May 3-4\, 2021\nSpace cooling needs will be an increasingly important driver of future energy demand\, but most energy and climate policy scenarios do explicitly represent how the demand for this energy service will respond to climate change. As a consequence\, we have a limited knowledge regarding the potential implications growing space cooling could have on the environment\, the economy as represented by different sectors and different groups of households\, especially in the context of a deeper and accelerating energy transition. \nThis workshop seeks to identify knowledge gaps and delineate directions for further research within a field of research that lies at the intersection between applied and empirical economics and economic modelling or Integrated Assessment Modelling (IAM). \nThe workshop will be articulated in three virtual sessions distributed over two days. In each session\, two short presentations from the ENERGYA team will kick-off the discussion. The discussion will focus on approaches and data requirements for representing cooling and heating needs and dynamics in energy- environment-economic models. Our main hypothesis is that climate change impacts can significantly alter the understanding of the mitigation challenge\, but we still do not know precisely how. \nResearch questions:\n\nHow energy-environment-economic models incorporate decisions regarding the adoption and use of cooling appliances?\nHow can we improve the empirical evidence on the joint decision of adopting and using AC?\nTo what extent the massive use of AC that is projected by several studies could hinder progress towards the reduction of GHG emissions? To what extent the massive use of AC that is projected byseveral studies could create a new type of energy poor?\nHow can we model collective strategies (e.g. urban planning) related thermal comfort decisions?\n\nRead and download the AGENDA\n\nFormat\nEach session will be kicked off by two short presentations by the ENERGYA team that will be challenged by discussants who can present a few slides and start a discussion on some of the issues illustrated within each session. Presentations should introduce the main idea\, explain the methodology and illustrate results and remaining gaps in about 15 minutes. \n\n\n\n\nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\n \nThe Workshop will be broadcasted via Zoom.\nIf you want to attend the Workshop\, please send an email to venice@cmcc.it \n\nORGANIZED BY:\n \nUniversità Ca’Foscari Venezia \nFondazione CMCC – Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici \nVERA – Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies \n\n\n\nThis project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 756194. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Peter Christensen
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe Demand for Mobility: Evidence from an Experiment with Uber Riders \nChanges in transport costs can affect mobility in ways that differ across the population\, affecting the impacts of transport policies. We randomly assign large price discounts on Uber in Egypt over a 3-month period and collect comprehensive data on participant mobility using Google Timeline. A 50% price discount quadruples Uber usage and induces a 42% increase in total travel. Effects and welfare gains are larger for women\, who are less mobile at baseline and perceive public transit as unsafe. The price elasticity of private vehicle kilometers traveled (-1.28) implies that mobility and external costs increase substantially when ride-hailing prices fall.

SUMMARY:STEAM+ Venice Local Workshop 1
DESCRIPTION:Aim of the workshop – Background and context\nThe STEAM+ project aims to provide educational policy makers with instruments to prepare new generations for handling the challenges of our time. Europe faces grand challenges which have a STEM subject at their core\, but need knowledge from All other subjects (the extra A) to create STEAM solutions. The STEAM+ project uses transdisciplinary talent programs such as the Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari as laboratories of innovation in higher education (HE). The project planned to run three STEAM+ Innovation Labs where students and teachers from 9 countries co-create solutions for grand challenges. The experience from the Labs and a subsequent series of workshops and policy meetings are meant to be used to create two main products: \nAn instrument on how to establish transdisciplinary talent programs in HE: The STEAM+ Innovation Lab Implementation Path;\nAn instrument for policy makers at HE\, local\, regional\, national and EU levels to support and recognize (or develop) such programs: the STEAM+ Menu for Policy Inspiration. \nThe Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari is responsible for the first STEAM+ Innovation Lab\, which is scheduled for next July 18-23\, 2021 and is limited to the 9 main partners. In line with the aim and the main goals of the STEAM+ project\, this Lab will elaborate on four keywords: transdisciplinarity\, co-creation\, citizen science and marine conservation.\nSpecifically\, the Lab aims at fostering socio-ecological literacy\, contributing to co-creation of knowledge for marine conservation\, and nurturing (citizen scientific) commitment for environmental stewardship. It will focus on marine conservation\, in light of the challenges that the (unique in the world) city of Venice is facing. Finally\, in the perspective of Citizen Science\, the methodological assumption of the Lab is that diversity is a plus!\nIndeed\, the lab will be based on a transdisciplinary and methodologically diverse approach\, also enriched by the cultural heterogeneity of the participants. \nVenice Local Workshop 1 aims at promoting a fruitful discussion with CMCC\, STEAM+ policy partner\, on the methodological approach of the STEAM+ project\, as well as on the organization and core concepts of the Venetian Innovation Lab. Specifically\, we plan to have three short presentations – two focusing on two keywords\, co-creation and citizen science\, and one on the structure of the Lab – followed by an open-discussion session in which\, in addition to collecting suggestions on the Innovation Lab\, could turn around the following possible questions: \n\nWhat keeps Higher Education Institutions –HEI – from changing and introducing more transdisciplinary education\, and what leverage can policy offer\nWhat kind of programs/initiatives are already in place?\nWhich opportunities do you see in your country/institute?\nWhich challenges do you see?\nHow can we together promote such programs\, especially Talent programs? Suggestions for a line of action.\n\nHosted by Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari\, Italy\nKeynote speakers\nAnne Snick (KU Leuven\, Belgium)\nLuca Corazzini (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)\nDaniele Brombal (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)\nAttendees: CMCC – College STEAM Policy Partner\nInternational College Ca’ Foscari Students and Studies Committee \nAGENDA\nTuesday\, 27th of April\n16.00: Welcome by Luca Corazzini\n16.05: Anne Snick (KU Leuven\, Belgium) – Co-creation and transdisciplinarity: scientific methodologies for the 21st Century\n16.40: Daniele Brombal (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy) – Citizen Science and Institutional Change\n17.00: (virtual) Coffee break\n17.15: Luca Corazzini (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)– Citizen Science for Marine Conservation (Lab#1\, STEAM+)\n17.40: Open discussion\n18:45: Conclusion of the workshop and farewell \nMore info about the Event (PDF file) \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\nThe workshop is open to CMCC researchers.\nIf you want to attend the Workshop\, please send an email to venice@cmcc.it \nORGANIZED BY:
