SUMMARY:ELEVATE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:ELEVATE Webinar\nTitle: Reducing cost of capital to finance the energy transition in developing countries: a multi-model analysis \nSpeaker: Matteo Calcaterra\, CMCC Foundation \nAbstract: Climate stabilisation requires mobilising significant investments in low- and zero-carbon technologies\, especially in emerging and developing economies. However\, access to stable and affordable finance varies dramatically across countries. Models used to evaluate the energy transition do not differentiate regional financing costs and therefore cannot study risk sharing mechanisms for renewable electricity generation. Here\, we incorporate empirically estimated cost of capital differentiated by country and technology in an ensemble of five climate-energy-economy models. We quantify the additional financing cost of decarbonization borne by developing regions\, and explore the implications of policies towards international convergence of country risk premia in energy investments. We find significant climate and equity benefits in alleviating financial constraints regarding increased renewable penetration and more affordable energy in the developing world. The exercise shows the importance of fair finance for energy availability\, affordability\, and sustainability\, and the necessity to include financial considerations in model-based assessments.

SUMMARY:GEOCEP webinar
DESCRIPTION:GEOCEP webinar\nSpeaker: Silva Emilson\, University of Auckland    \nModerator: Shayegh Soheil\, CMCC Foundation \nTitle: Critical Minerals\, Electric Goods\, and the Global Energy Transition \nAbstract: \nCountries are actively pursuing the energy transition\, yet this process carries geopolitical consequences. Our paper delves into this dynamic by analyzing the implications of Chinese exports of critical electrical goods on national energy transitions\, lithium and rare earth production and prices\, and oil prices. Using a GVAR from 2012M7 to 2019M12 across 12 economies\, with a focus on Australia (due to its near-monopolistic position in lithium)\, China (nearly monopolistic in rare earth)\, and the U.S.\, our study reveals that Chinese exports of critical electrical goods create a dependency for Australia and the U.S.\, making them reliant on the Chinese energy matrix. Furthermore\, our findings show that China\, both directly and indirectly\, influences domestic energy transitions\, and lithium and rare earth production. The indirect channels involve China’s impact on lithium and rare earth prices\, with a notably higher influence in the rare earth market\, reflecting its dominant position in this mineral. While the oil price is generally not pivotal for the energy transition of economies\, the U.S. stands as a unique case where oil prices are essential to understanding its energy matrix and critical minerals production. Finally\, we observe that Australia and the U.S. respond to escalating Chinese exports by increasing their production of critical minerals. We discuss the implications of our results\, which suggest the potential for geopolitical tensions and the possibility of international cooperation to advance energy transition. \n  \nThis event is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 870245.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: Changing consumption behavior with carbon labels: Causal evidence on behavioral channels and effectiveness \nSpeaker: Anna Schulze Tilling\, University of Bonn \nAbstract: Carbon labels are an increasingly popular policy tool to decrease the carbon footprint of consumers’ choices. However\, not much is known about their effectiveness relative to other policy instruments and the channels via which they affect behavior. Through a series of experiments\, including two framed field experiments (N=289 and N=444\, respectively) and one natural field experiment (involving more than 120\,000 purchase decisions by over 10\,000 customers) conducted in a student canteen setting\, I provide causal evidence that carbon labels impact consumption behavior. I evaluate the labels’ effectiveness in comparison to a carbon tax\, both through direct elicitation (framed field experiment) and by using pricing variations (natural field experiment). In both settings\, I find that the overall effectiveness of the labels is similar to that of a carbon tax of Euro 120 per tonne. Further\, complementary evidence from both settings conveys that the labels on average create psychological benefits for consumers. In the second framed field experiment\, I identify the behavioral channels driving label effectiveness by varying treatment conditions. I find that carbon labels mainly impact consumers by directing attention towards carbon emissions\, and less by correcting consumers’ perceptions about carbon footprints. Using a structural model and data from the second framed field experiment\, I estimate that carbon labels on average increase consumer welfare. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: “Behavioural Spillovers Unpacked: Estimating the Side Effects of Social Norm Nudges” \nSpeaker: Julien Picard\, LSE \nAbstract: Fighting the climate crisis requires changing many aspects of our consumption habits. Previous studies show that a first pro-environmental action can lead to another. But does this spillover effect persist when nudges foster the initial action? We model the mechanisms leading nudges to alter such behavioural spillovers. In an online experiment (n=2775)\, we test if encouraging vegetarianism with a social norm nudge alters environmental donations. The nudge is effective in increasing intentions to choose vegetarian food. Using machine learning\, we find that a subgroup drives this effect. We also see a positive spillover effect: choosing vegetarian food increases donations. However\, the nudge crowds out this spillover effect for the subgroup identified with machine learning. Our results suggest that social norm nudges are effective but crowd out people’s willingness to do more. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:CAPABLE and ECEMF Webinar
DESCRIPTION:CAPABLE and ECEMF Webinar\nTitle: “Credibility makes or breaks the price: political commitment in long-term climate policy key for effective EU emissions trading system” \nSpeaker: Robert Pietzcker leads the National Energy Transitions Team in the Energy Systems group at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). A physicist and economist by training\, his work focuses on analyzing the energy transition in the EU and Germany\, and providing insights on the climate policies needed achieve greenhouse gas neutrality. \nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\,\, Fondazione Centro Euromediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) \n  \nDuring the webinar\, Dr. Robert Pietzcker will present the main insights from the paper “EU carbon prices signal high policy credibility and farsighted actors” recently published in Nature Energy (Sitarz et al\, 2024)\, and discuss the importance of considering short- or farsightedness of firms when designing climate policies. \n  \nPaper abstract: \nCarbon prices in the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) are a key instrument driving Europe’s decarbonization. Between 2017 and 2021\, they surged tenfold\, exceeding 80 €/tCO2 and reshaping investment decisions across the electricity and industry sectors. What has driven this increase is an open question. While it coincided with two significant reforms tightening the cap (“MSR reform” and “Fit for 55”)\, we argue that a reduced supply of allowances alone cannot fully explain the price rise. A further crucial aspect is that actors must have become more farsighted as the reform signaled policymakers’ credible long-term commitment to climate targets. This is consistent with model results that show historic prices can be better explained with myopic actors\, while explaining prices after the reforms requires actors to be farsighted. To underline the role of credibility\, we test what would happen if a crisis undermines policy credibility such that actors become myopic again\, demonstrating that carbon prices could plummet and endanger the energy transition.

SUMMARY:EDITS webinar
DESCRIPTION:EDITS webinar\nSpeaker: Alessio Mastrucci\, IIASA;  Benigna Boza-Kiss\, IIASA  \nModerator: Leila Niamir\, IIASA \nTitle: ‘Building sector modeling: how to explore low energy demand futures’ \nAbstract: \nBuildings provide critical services for human activities and well-being by providing shelter and other important functions to their users. Buildings are also responsible for major energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during their life cycle. It is critical to understand how the building sector could best ensure these services with the least impact on climate and sustainability targets. \nBuilding sector models have become essential tools for decision support on strategies to reduce energy demand and GHG emissions. Yet current models have significant limitations in their ability to assess the transformations required for LED. In this webinar we will review the current variety of building sector models ranging from the subnational to the global scale to identify best practices and critical gaps in representing transformations toward LED futures. We focus on three key dimensions of intervention (socio-behavioral\, infrastructural\, and technological)\, three megatrends (digitalization\, sharing economy\, and circular economy)\, and decent living standards. We will discuss what model developments are needed to better assess LED transformations in buildings and support decision-making toward sustainability targets.

SUMMARY:EDITS webinar
DESCRIPTION:Leverage demand-side policies for energy security\nSpeaker: Nuno Bento\, Integrated Researcher at the DINÂMIA’CET research center at University Institute of Lisbon – Iscte. \nModerator: Miyuki Nagashima\, Senior Researcher\, Systems Analysis Group\, Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE). \nAbstract: Energy security is a top priority for governments\, companies\, and households because energy systems and the critical functions that they support are threatened by disruptions from wars\, pandemics\, climate change\, and other shocks (1). More often than not\, governments rely on policies focused on energy supply to enhance energy security while generally ignoring demand-side possibilities. Further\, the indicators traditionally used to measure energy security are also tilted toward the supply side; this fails to capture the full spectrum of vulnerability to energy crises. Energy security assessments need to reflect the wider benefits of security-related interventions more accurately. To that end\, we develop a systematic approach to measuring the energy security impacts of policy interventions that explicitly considers energy demand (buildings\, transport\, and industry). We determine that demand-side actions outperform conventional supply-side approaches at making countries more resilient. Read more in the full paper (here). \nThe webinar is organized in the framework of the Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations (EDITS) project\, which is coordinated by the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)\, and funded by Ministry of Economy\, Trade\, and Industry (METI)\, Japan.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar – Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: Energy System Modelling in support of EU Climate Policy: the role of the JRC model POTEnCIA in the setting of the 2040 Climate Target \nSpeaker: Frederik Neuwahl\, European Commission\, Joint Research Centre (JRC) \nAbstract: The 2040 Climate Target\, adopted by the European Commission on February 6th of this year\, is the last major climate change mitigation policy initiative of the current Commission. It bridges the 2030 decarbonisation targets of the Fit for 55 Policy Package with the 2050 climate neutrality objective set in the EU Climate Law. In short\, it is about setting a path to reach net-zero emissions within two and a half decades. In order to support the choice for such a pathway\, the Commission conducted a comprehensive ex-ante Impact Assessment making extensive use of quantitative modelling tools. Eventually\, in the Communication adopted on February 6th\, the Commission decided to aim for an ambitious 90% reduction from 1990 level\, based on some 600 pages of Impact Assessment as well as on the recommendations contained in more than an hundred pages of advice of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change. The quantitative analysis of the Impact Assessment was based on a long-established suite of models that span the Energy dimension\, economics\, transport\, land use\, and emissions. For this policy initiative\, however\, the Commission decided to expand the set of simulation tools used to develop energy scenarios in a multi-model approach that prominently included the participation of the POTEnCIA model. POTEnCIA (Policy-Oriented Tool for ENergy and Climate change Impact Assessment) is a detailed energy system model developed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commissions since 2011 to endow the Institution with an in-house tool for the detailed assessment of energy and climate change policy scenarios. It reached operational status 5 years ago with the publication of the first POTEnCIA energy Outlook to 2050\, and the 2040 Climate Target is one of the first applications of this tool in direct support of a major new EU policy proposal. The 2040 Climate Target is a non-legislative document. It recommends an interim decarbonisation target towards full decarbonisation in 2050. It will then be for the next Commission to move forward with the consolidation of this proposal into a possible mandatory target and in a fully-fledged legislative package to deliver on that target.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar - Seminar 
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar – Seminar\nTitle: “Unequal climate impacts on global values of natural capital” \nSpeaker: Bernardo Bastien Olvera\, Postdoctoral Scholar at UC San Diego \nAbstract: Ecosystems generate a wide range of benefits for humans\, including some market goods as well as other benefits that are not directly reflected in market activity1. Climate change will alter the distribution of ecosystems around the world and change the flow of these benefits2\,3. However\, the specific implications of ecosystem changes for human welfare remain unclear\, as they depend on the nature of these changes\, the value of the affected benefits and the extent to which communities rely on natural systems for their well-being4. Here we estimate country-level changes in economic production and the value of non-market ecosystem benefits resulting from climate-change-induced shifts in terrestrial vegetation cover\, as projected by dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) driven by general circulation climate models. Our results show that the annual population-weighted mean global flow of non-market ecosystem benefits valued in the wealth accounts of the World Bank will be reduced by 9.2% in 2100 under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP2-6.0 with respect to the baseline no climate change scenario and that the global population-weighted average change in gross domestic product (GDP) by 2100 is −1.3% of the baseline GDP. Because lower-income countries are more reliant on natural capital\, these GDP effects are regressive. Approximately 90% of these damages are borne by the poorest 50% of countries and regions\, whereas the wealthiest 10% experience only 2% of these losses. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:Internal Seminar-Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Flying to net zero: the role of aviation in demanding for and enabling Carbon Dioxide Removal\nSpeaker: Nicoletta Brazzola \nAbstract: Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and meeting ambitious climate goals requires a comprehensive approach that includes carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. This seminar examines the critical role of CDR in enabling the aviation sector to achieve net-zero emissions\, while also considering the potential for this sector to serve as a catalyst for CDR development. Through an interdisciplinary lens and across different studies\, we explore various strategies for achieving climate neutrality and scaling up CDR. Focusing primarily on a promising but nascent CDR method\, Direct Air Capture (DAC)\, we assess the role of CDR in achieving climate-neutral aviation by evaluating the demand for CDR and the comparative cost-effectiveness of different mitigation options based on DAC. Specifically\, our findings suggest that DAC-based fuels could offer economic advantages under climate neutrality targets\, while also acting as an early deployment niche by circumventing regulatory constraints and accelerating DAC adoption. Looking ahead\, we outline future research directions and critical questions to address challenges in CDR scale-up. \n\nEIEE members only

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar\nTitle: How to Increase Public Support for Carbon Pricing \nSpeaker: Davide Pace\, LMU Munich \nAbstract: The public acceptability of a carbon price depends on how the revenues from carbon pricing are used. In a fully incentivised experiment with a large representative sample of the German population\, we compare five different revenue recycling schemes and show that support for a carbon price is maximised by a “Climate Premium” that pays a fixed\, uniform\, upfront payment to each person. This recycling scheme receives more support than tax and dividend schemes\, than using revenues for the general budget of the government\, and than earmarking revenues for environmental projects. Furthermore\, we show that participants and experts underestimate the public support for carbon pricing. \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar\nTitle: The Electric Vehicle Rebound Effect \nSpeaker: Kenneth Gillingham\, Yale School of the Environment \nAbstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising technology for the decarbonisation of transportations\, especially now that battery storage technologies are becoming more energy-dense and affordable and policy efforts are in place to make electricity generation cleaner. This has triggered intense policy action around the planned phase-out of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and large volumes of investments by automakers as they convert their production. Yet\, the degree to which EVs and ICEs are substitutable in the eyes of consumers is an empirical question. EVs are different from ICEs on a number of dimensions\, most notably they generally cost much less to drive but more upfront\, and charging stations are not yet as pervasive as gas stations so that users often complain about range anxiety. As EVs are substantially cheaper to drive per mile than ICEs\, a rebound effect may occur after a household purchase a EV if the savings are then reallocated to increase total VMT and the miles traveled using ICEs. Yet\, applying estimates of the rebound effect obtained from studies that look at purchase of more fuel-efficient vehicle would be inappropriate as the difference in costs per miles is substantially more pronounced. Moreover\, policies that make charging cheaper (such as TOU rates\, managed charging) may again increase total driving (a second type rebound effect)\, potentially reducing the promised environmental benefits of EVs. At the same time\, policies that increase gasoline prices (such as carbon/gasoline tax) should shift VMT away from ICE vehicles and towards EVs. Understanding the substitutability between these vehicles is therefore crucial as we move towards pricing policies that internalize externalities of gasoline consumption. The aim of this paper is to look at how households adjust their total VMT and the allocation of VMT between vehicles in response to the purchase of an EV (we focus in particular on battery electric vehicles\, or BEVs)\, as well as in response to changes in gasoline prices and electricity rates. These results will also help us estimate to what extent EVs can offset the use of existing ICE vehicles. To answer these questions\, we use detailed information on the composition of households’ vehicle portfolio in Massachusetts (from registration data) and the miles driven by each vehicle over time (from inspection data)\, combined with a rich set of household and location characteristics. \n  \nThis research is the result of a joint work with Beia Spiller (RFF) and Marta Talevi (UC Dublin). \n  \nRegister in advance.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar\nTitle: Do sufficiency consumption changes drive emissions down? A production network approach \nSpeaker: Célia Escribe (CIRED) \nAbstract: Sufficiency\, encompassing both absolute reductions in consumption and shifts to less environmentally impactful consumption modes\, emerges as one of the necessary pillars of decarbonization. Yet\, its broader economy-wide implications remain underexplored. To bridge this research gap\, we develop a stylized macroeconomic model that integrates changes in consumption patterns within a disaggregated microeconomic production framework. We derive comparative statics to unravel three primary propagation channels for consumption changes: a direct demand effect that includes income reallocation\, a price effect\, and a substitution effect. While the income reallocation effect aligns with existing input-output literature\, the other channels represent novel theoretical contributions to sufficiency studies. Importantly\, we demonstrate that both the price and the substitution effect rely on the underlying structure of the economic production network and on the elasticities of substitution. Together\, these effects drive the overall emissions’ reduction impact of sufficiency consumption changes. Using multi-regional input-output data\, we calibrate our model to evaluate the impacts of two specific consumption changes: transitioning to a vegetarian diet and reducing personal vehicle usage. Our initial results show that both interventions lead to a reduction in overall emissions through the demand channel\, of respectively 0.9% and 2.6%. We estimate rebound effects as high as 45 % due to the price and substitution effects. This suggests that existing literature may overestimate the emission reduction potential of sufficiency consumption changes by neglecting key macroeconomic feedback mechanisms. We are currently investigating other forms of sufficiency consumption changes to explore whether such rebound effects persist under a more systemic definition of sufficiency. \n  \nHybrid event for EIEE members only.

SUMMARY:AdJUST Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Global inequality consequences of climate policies when accounting for avoided climate impacts\nSpeaker: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy \nModerator: Elena Verdolini\, University of Brescia and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy \nConcerns have been raised against using carbon pricing for fighting climate change\, as these might disproportionally affect lower-income households and thus increase inequality. However\, the distributional implications of climate policies will depend on policy design and their capacity to reduce climate change impacts. To quantify the interaction between climate policy and climate benefits on economic inequality\, we develop a numerical climate-economic framework featuring both within- and between-country income heterogeneity. We implement a well-below 2°C target and examine a variety of redistributive schemes. We find that climate change impacts increase economic inequalities within and across countries. Climate policy reduces this increase by half\, and an appropriate transfer scheme targeted at low-income households can eliminate it altogether. An equal per-capita redistribution scheme leads to most of the population being economically better off already today. The analysis shows the importance of including climate-economic benefits in the evaluation of climate policies. \n

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar
DESCRIPTION:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar-Seminar\nTitle: Developing scenarios for assessing the macrofinancial implications of nature loss and measures to reverse it \nSpeaker: Romain Svartzman (Bocconi University) \nAbstract: This presentation will focus on the recent NGFS report “Recommendations toward the development of scenarios for assessing nature-related economic and financial risks”\, co-coordinated by Romain Svartzman. The presentation will provide a brief overview of why central banks and supervisors came to care about “nature loss”\, before delving into the need for tailored scenarios and the challenges related to developing them. In particular\, it will focus on the challenges and potential ways forward related to: (i) developing narratives through which different hazards (i.e. potential sources of physical and transition risks) can be identified; and (ii) exploring methods and tools (e.g.\, models and data needs) through which the economic (and ultimately financial) impacts of these hazards and the ability to mitigate them can be assessed. \n  \nHybrid event for EIEE members only.

SUMMARY:PRISMA Stakeholder Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Climate impacts and adaptation stakeholder workshop\nTitle: \n\nRepresentation of adaptation and maladaptation in integrated assessment models (IAMs)\n\nModerator: \n\nDetlef van Vuuren\, Project leader of the IMAGE integrated assessment modelling team\, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and professor in Integrated Assessment of Global Environmental Change at Utrecht University\n\nSpeakers: \n\nMarina Andrijevic\, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis\n\n\nEdward Byers\, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis\n\n\nKai-Ivar van der Wijst\, Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development\, Utrecht University\n\nThere has traditionally been a clear divide between research communities focused on climate change mitigation and those concentrating on climate impacts. However\, it is known that there are important interactions. The community scenario framework (SSPs/RCPs) is intended to facilitate such integration. In recent years\, first efforts have been made to incorporate impacts and adaptation into detailed integrated assessment models\, allowing for a better assessment of the interactions between mitigation\, adaptation\, and impacts in various scenarios. Such research can also delve into maladaptation\, referring to adaptation efforts that result in negative side effects or are ill-prepared for long-term climate change (e.g.\, this may include increased energy demand due to water desalination). \nIn this stakeholder workshop\, we will discuss the current status of adaptation and maladaptation in research on model-based scenarios. We will present key insights from the NAVIGATE\, PRISMA\, SPARCCLE\, and ACCREU projects. Through interactive discussions\, the aim is to understand whether the expectations and needs of researchers\, experts\, and stakeholders align regarding the current research agenda\, potentially leading to further research recommendations. \nOrganized by PBL\, Bruegel\, CMCC \nImage by Yakov Oskanov on Envato \n  \nRegister here: please register in advance to participate! \n  \nPRISMA project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation\nprogramme under grant agreement No. 101081604.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Seminar-Webinar
DESCRIPTION:SWEEEP Webinar Series hosted by CMCC/EIEE\nSpeaker: Marion Leroutier\, Postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) \nTitle: The Cost of Air Pollution for Workers and Firms \nPoor air quality negatively affects workers’ health and cognitive functions\, but we know little about the countrywide consequences for firms. In this paper\, we estimate the causal effects of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure on workers’ absenteeism and firms’ monthly sales using unique employer-employee data and granular measures of air pollution in France from 2009 to 2015. We exploit variation in air pollution induced by changes in monthly wind directions at the postcode level. We find that a 10% increase in monthly PM2.5 exposure increases worker absenteeism in the same month by 1.1% and reduces sales in manufacturing\, construction\, and business-to-consumer\, with different lags. Sales losses are several orders of magnitude larger than what we would expect if workers’ absenteeism was the only factor affecting firms’ performance. This suggests a potentially large effect of pollution on the productivity of non-absent worker or consumer demand. We estimate that reducing air pollution in France in line with the World Health Organization’s guidelines on maximum daily exposure to PM2.5 would have avoided sales losses worth around 20 billion euros every year. \n  \nRegistration required: https://cmcc-it.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Sl9-f4kFSxag9jX88_YJVg#/registration \nRegister in advance for this webinar.

SUMMARY:PRISMA Stakeholder Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Climate Impacts on country-level biodiversity\, ecosystems services and GDP: recent research and stakeholder views\nSpeaker: Johannes Emmerling (RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, CMCC Foundation) \nModerator: Heather Grabbe (Bruegel\, and visiting professor at University College London and KU Leuven) \nAbstract: Ecosystems bring benefits to human well-being\, including both those with market value\, that can be bought and sold\, and those without\, that are intangible and non-monetary in nature. Climate change will alter the distribution of ecosystems around the world and change the flow of these benefits. The implications of ecosystem changes for human welfare depend on both the nature of these changes and the extent to which communities rely on natural systems for their well-being. We present recent research and discuss the impacts of climate change on biodiversity\, including the role for the economy\, in the light also of the latest review by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and the Dasgupta Independent Review on the Economics of Biodiversity. \n  \nRegister in advance to participate.
