RFF-CMCC EIEE institute at WCERE 26
The World Congress of Environmental and Resource Economists (WCERE) is the international conference of environmental and resource economists organised every four years by the World Council of Environmental and Resource Economists Associations (WCEREA).
The 2026 edition will be held in person in Carcavelos Campus in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, while also offering hybrid events and free online access to selected sessions, to enhance accessibility and foster global engagement within the environmental and resource economics community. The conference is hosted by the Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE).
RFF-CMCC EIEE institute actively participates in the Congress by contributing to and chairing several scientific sessions focused on key topics in cutting-edge climate research.
At WCERE 2026, CMCC and Resources for the Future will announce the establishment of the Raymond J. Kopp Award for Outstanding Contributions to Climate Economics and Policy, a new biennial prize jointly promoted through their joint initiative, the European Institute on Economics and the Environment. Honouring the legacy of Raymond J. Kopp — whose decades of research at RFF exemplified the integration of rigorous economic analysis with real-world policy engagement — the award will recognise an outstanding peer-reviewed paper making a significant contribution to climate change economic policy, with special emphasis on international and cross-continental collaboration. The call for nominations will be launched in Autumn 2026, with nominations open until 31 January 2028, and the inaugural edition will be presented at the AERE Summer Conference in Asheville, NC, on 7–8 June 2028.
