Yale Climate, Environment & Economic Growth Conference

The Yale Climate, Environment & Economic Growth Conference 2023 took place on November 9 and 10 at Yale University.

This conference focused on the challenges of maintaining economic progress, and improvements in human welfare, while remaining within environmental boundaries that will sustain those improvements.

The first day “The Future of Growth in the Climate Transition” explored questions on environmentally sustainable economic growth, from climate justice and poverty reduction to energy markets and the relationship between economic and climate models.

The second day commemorated the 50th anniversary of Nordhaus and Tobin’s classic paper, “Is Growth Obsolete?” and examined the linkage between the environment and economic growth and the opportunities and implications of including the environment in systems of economic measurement. 

Natalia Fabra participated on the first day with a presentation entitled “Challenges for Renewable Energy Investments” (see the slides here)
