A conversation with Prof. Andrea Roventini (Scuola Superiore Sant’ Anna), Prof. Francesco Lamperti (Institute of Economics and L’EMbeDS, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies (Pisa), and Scientist at the RFF-CMCC European Institute), and Prof. Lilit Popoyan (Queen Mary University of London, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, and NYU Florence).
This event aims to dive into the intricate political and economic challenges posed by climate change. As global temperatures rise and weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable, the necessity for robust political strategies and economic frameworks to mitigate and adapt to these changes is paramount. The speakers will explore the roles of international agreements, national policies, and local initiatives in addressing climate change. The speakers will also examine the economic impacts of climate change on various sectors, including energy, agriculture, and finance, and discuss sustainable economic models that can drive growth while reducing carbon footprints. Experts from diverse fields will provide insights into policy formulation, economic resilience, and innovative solutions to one of the most pressing issues of our time.
