Global warming caused by greenhouse gases from human activities is the most serious threat to long-run economic development and the life of human beings. Significant changes on all aspects of our behaviour and in all sectors of the economy are imperative. The annual conference of the Austrian Economic Association (NOeG) aims to discuss the economic consequences, challenges and potential pathways of our transition to a low carbon economy. The organizers invite submissions on this topic as well as from all areas of economics including macroeconomics, economic development and growth, environmental and ecological economics, resource and agriculture economics, labor and demographic economics, microeconomics and industrial organization, urban and regional economics, etc.
