New report series highlights policy advice for waste, fishery, biodiversity, social cost of carbon and hazardous chemicals
The need for evidence-based policy advice is larger than ever before and looking ahead, the demand will most likely continue to increase. In order to strengthen the role of environmental economics in Swedish policy, SDSN Northern Europe and partners (listed below) arranged a pre-conference, preceding the 6th World Congress in Environmental and Resource Economics, WCERE 2018, in Gothenburg Sweden. The pre-conference brought together academics and experts at agencies and organisations involved in policy work in five parallel workshops. The workshops aimed to provide participants with new insights by addressing practical problems faced in policymaking and to strengthen networks of environmental economists.
We now release a series of printed reports from these workshops, freely available to be downloaded!
Thematic reports
- Social Cost of Carbon: What Value to use?
- Waste Policy: Understanding the Circular Economy
- Fishery Policy: Succesful Right-based System?
