The workshop is followed by a small reception.

The science is clear that the climate is changing, yet there are continued debates about the most effective paths forward for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This workshop brings together an interdisciplinary group of social science scholars to present cutting-edge insights from economics, political science, and political economy on how to address climate change.

The discussion will range from politically feasible climate policy to ways to induce green innovation and adoption of green technologies. One theme of discussion will be about developing climate policy under uncertainty, and how this intersects with political feasibility, effects on different populations, and economic efficiency. The workshop will consist of six presentations by leading scholars in the social science of climate change, and ample time for discussion. There will be apéro following the workshop.
