The 3rd CEPR/EBRD/Economics of Transition/LSE Symposium on environmental economics and the green transition in advanced and emerging markets took place on 13-14 June at the EBRD headquarters.

The symposium provided a platform for researchers and policy makers to discuss new research and to identify areas where further academic and policy-oriented work is needed, such as in:

• The impact of environmental quality on individual productivity, employment, and well-being
• The impact of climate change on emerging markets
• The role of governments and firms in fighting climate change
• Firm-level energy efficiency and how to improve it 
• Climate change and economic (in)equality across and within countries
• Greening the financial system
  
• Corporate environmental responsibility 
• Climate change and agricultural productivity
• Stranded assets for energy and carbon intensive industries
• Agency and governance problems that distort corporate climate risk management
• Environmental policies and macroeconomic dynamics
  
• Behavioural foundations of environmentally (un-)friendly consumer actions
  
• The environment and network effects

The symposium featured keynote talks by Catherine Wolfram (University of California, Berkeley and NBER) and Arik Levinson (Georgetown University).
