Economic Impacts of Climate Change

December 7 — 9, 2022

Description

Back to top

Climate change poses serious financial, health and property risks both to major industrial sectors and to the public. Characterizing the economic impacts, and quantifying relevant risk-based uncertainties, are critical for establishing resilient and equitable strategies for the future. This workshop will bring together students, researchers, and stakeholders from diverse disciplinary areas to address economic impacts of climate and weather across a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. We will explore new ideas and approaches to connecting academic research with stakeholder and private sector interests, in particular using applied mathematical, statistical, and econometric methods.

This workshop will include a poster session. In order to propose a poster, you must first register for the workshop, and then submit a poster proposal using the form that will become available on this page after you register. The registration form should not be used to propose a poster. The deadline for proposing a poster is November 30.
