Monash Environmental Economics Workshop 2024

11/21/2024 08:30 am 11/22/2024 05:30 pm Australia/Melbourne Monash Environmental Economics Workshop 2024

Now in its eighth year, this workshop will be hosted by the Department of Economics at Monash Business School, in collaboration with the Centre for Development Economics and Sustainability (CDES), the Pacific Action for Climate Transitions (PACT) research centre and MBUS Green Lab.

Financial support from the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) is gratefully acknowledged.

The Monash Environmental Economics (MEEW) workshop is a research-intensive event. Organisers of this year’s workshop are calling for papers for presentation, on the subjects of environmental and resource economics, with theoretical, experimental, and empirical papers equally valued.

In line with the workshop’s goals of building and strengthening our environmental economics community, MEEW2024 will be an in-person event.

Plenary sessions

We are delighted to confirm Professor James Watson (University of Queensland) will present a plenary lecture on current efforts to assess the true costs of recovering Australia's threatened species, focusing both on what we know so far and what needs to be done.

We will end the first day of the workshop with a panel discussion on "Net Zero, Nature Positive and the Australian Land Sector", with Walter Batt (Farmers for Climate Action), Matthew Dawson (North Central Catchment Management Authority), Stefan Kaufman (Monash Sustainable Development Institute), Miheka Patel (Accela) and moderated by Anita Foerster (Business Law and Taxation, Green Lab).

The panel will focus on the potential and the pitfalls of current policy settings in helping to drive comprehensive shifts in land use practices to manage land, not only for agricultural production but also for ecosystem services.
