The Economics of Climate Change: The Effect of Climate Policy on Innovation, Competitiveness and Employment

ZEW will host a side event at the Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris on the topic of Economics of Climate Change.

Climate policies have significant repercussions for the economy with notable implications for policy-makers. While climate policies may negatively impact economic competitiveness and employment, they can also inspire environmental innovations and thus have a positive effect on the economy. This session will consider the link between climate policies, competitiveness and employment in Germany – a global forerunner in clean technologies and climate policies.
