The long-term effects of climate change can potentially cause economic disruptions that may not be well-represented in current macroeconomic models.
This two-day hybrid workshop, hosted by the US National Academies, convenes economists, policy-makers and more to identify ways to better incorporate climate-related risks into macroeconomic models, leading to better policy-making.
The workshop takes place virtually and in-person in Washington, D.C.

This workshop will explore current macroeconomic modeling approaches, discuss physical damages of climate change and their implications for the macroeconomy, and examine relevant aspects of the energy transition. The two-day workshop will culminate in a synthesis discussion to consider the steps needed to advance macroeconomic modeling to adequately account for economic impacts of climatic disruption.
SEI US’s Equitable Transitions Program Director Eric Kemp-Benedict will be present as a member of the Roundtable on Macroeconomics and Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities.
