LSE Environment Week
LSE Environment Week is a leading global hybrid event on environmental policy, bringing together top researchers from all fields of economics including development, macroeconomics, industrial organisation, public, finance, labour, trade, urban, theory, behavioural, and political economy as well as environmental, energy, and climate experts.
About
The Earth is warming, glaciers are melting, wildfires are spreading. Addressing climate change, pollution, and environmental degradation is increasingly urgent, underscoring the need for research.
To address these challenges, LSE Environment Week (or E-Week) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) was founded in 2021 to connect work on environmental issues to policy change.
A collaboration between the Economics of Environment and Energy Programme (EEE), International Growth Centre (IGC), and Programme on Innovation and Diffusion (POID) within the LSE Economics Department, E-Week is now an annual celebrated event on the academic and global calendar of policymakers, economists, researchers and students.

"When we think about climate change policies people often think about Climate Week New York or London, or COP meetings, but the main thing I've gotten out of Environment Week is how centrally important local communities are to policymakers in these countries as they're thinking about issues of climate justice."
— Rohini Pande, Henry J. Heinz II Professor of Economics and Director of the Economic Growth Center at Yale University.
