The main theme of the 10th Congress is “Climate Risk and Sustainable Development in Asia.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Global climate risk requires urgent action to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Asia is a climate change-vulnerable region with high responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions. Because of its large share of global production and population, establishing and implementing effective measures for mitigation and adaption in the region are crucial for avoiding potential global damages. The region’s diverse environmental and economic conditions hinder concerted efforts to cope with climate risk. Overcoming the challenges of climate change is becoming the most important precondition for sustainable development in Asia and the rest of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Environmental and resource economics should play a central role in meeting such challenges by analyzing the economic\/environmental impacts of alternative human behaviors and deriving incentives for shifting human behavior toward sustainable development. Members and colleagues all over the world will meet to discuss and share their research findings. The Congress will not only host scientific works, but also to in-depth policy-related presentations and discussions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Congress is open to environmental and resource economic issues including:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
