Membership LAERE

Welcome to the Latin American Association of Environmental and Resource Economists!

LAERE is an international scientific association whose mission is:

  • To foster collaboration and exchange of ideas across researchers, students and policymakers working on environmental and resource economics topics in Latin America;
  • To contribute to the design and implementation of science-based policies aimed at improving the management of natural resources and the achievement of sustainable development in the region; and,
  • To develop and encourage the cooperation across universities, research institutions, government agencies, international organizations, NGOs, and private companies working in the field of Environmental and Resource Economics in Latin America.

LAERE was founded in 2017 by a group of Latin American researchers that, after more than 10 years of meeting each other in Environmental and Resource Economics conferences all over the world, became coauthors, friends and partners in this effort to launch a new association. During the last twenty years, the number of researchers working on this field in the region has increased considerably. LAERE reaches out to this critical mass and follows the steps of previous efforts (namely ALEAR and LACEEP) to build a cohesive community of researchers and practitioners.

Although LAERE has members all over Latin America as well as in Europe and the USA we are looking to expand its presence. The objective of this message is to invite you to join LAERE as an individual member. Membership is open to individuals who by their profession, training and/or work are involved in Environmental and Resource Economics as a science with a focus on Latin American issues.

LAERE is working on having in-person meetings. We are sure that they are an invaluable opportunity for environmental and resources economists to exchange ideas, start collaborations and mingle. In the near future, LAERE will join efforts with universities, research centers and other organizations in the region to offer advanced training to its members and the public in general. The edition of special issues in high profile international journals will also be sought and promoted by LAERE’s Board.
