BMBF Funding Priority “Economics of Climate Change” at ZEW
With the Paris climate agreement, the international community has set itself ambitious goals. 197 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention have agreed to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degree Celsius, to improve their adaptability and to reconcile financial flows with a low-emission and climate-resilient economic and social development. But how can these goals be achieved in an economically and ecologically effective way?
In this regard, research in the area of environmental economics provides important input and allows researchers to develop solutions to these pressing issues within the framework of the funding priority „Economics of Climate Change (Phase II)“ initiated by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In this funding priority, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding a total of 29 research projects until 2022. ZEW is part of seven collaborative projects involving a total of 16 scientific partners from different research institutions. Together with its research partners, ZEW develops practical solutions on the basis of policy-oriented research. The project sites provide background information on the individual research topics as well as insights into the development of research findings and reports over time.
