Call for Science-Policy-Business sessions

Science-Policy-Business sessions aim to showcase how the use of environmental and resource economics can contribute to support public policy-making by providing a forum of discussion between policy-makers, the business sector and academia. Sessions are expected to be of interest to a broad audience of research economists. They will typically be formatted as three to four short presentations followed by panel/roundtable discussions. Papers are not required. The Programme Committee will select a limited number of proposed Science-Policy-Business Sessions based on relevance and originality. The Science-Policy-Business Sessions will be held during parallel sessions in hybrid format and will have a duration of one hour and half each. Please check the Call for Science-Policy-Business Sessions for submission guidelines.

Call for Thematic sessions

Thematic sessions aim to highlight current research on a subject in environmental and resource economics. Thematic sessions will consist of four to five papers connected by a unifying theme. The individual contributions are expected to be of very high quality, both with respect to the scientific content of the paper and the presentation. The Programme Committee will select a limited number of proposed Thematic Sessions based on scientific quality and originality. The proposed papers for these sessions will undergo the normal refereeing process. The thematic sessions will run in parallel in much the same way as regular Parallel Sessions. Thematic sessions will be held in person. The proposal for Thematic Session follow a two-step procedure. Please check the Call for Thematic Sessions for submission guidelines.

Webinar

The political economy of carbon pricing

August 2, 2025By n4p5t3r

Add to calendar

The World Council of Environmental and Resource Economists Associations – WCEREA is pleased to announce the webinar on “The political economy of carbon pricing” to be held on September 9, 2025 at 9:00 – 10:30 am Pacific Time (see time converter here). The WebinarThere is a considerable number of carbon pricing initiatives around the world. Nevertheless, in general, the level of these prices is lower than needed to mitigate emissions sufficiently to hit the Paris Agreement targets on time. A major reason behind low carbon taxes and high carbon caps seems to be political. Authorities are not willing to pay the political cost of higher carbon prices. A possible increase in the energy costs and how this increase is distributed among different income groups is not the only driver of the political cost. Part of the policy cost arises because carbon prices address a global problem, not a national one. Therefore, international cooperation plays a significant role in the domestic political economy of carbon prices. To induce the level and speed of mitigation that carbon prices alone at politically viable levels are unlikely to achieve, several colleagues have suggested that climate policy should adopt a more “holistic” approach. According to this approach, carbon taxes should complement other instruments, such as subsidies to R&D, more “prescriptive” instruments, and a carbon border adjustment mechanism. In this scenario, important questions remain to be answered: Are high carbon prices doomed as climate policy instruments? How does international cooperation affect the chances of observing effective carbon prices in the future? What is the role that a carbon border adjustment mechanism should have? In this webinar, we gathered three distinguished scholars to present their views on these pressing questions. Speakers

Marcelo Caffera (University of Montevideo) will moderate the panel.
