Spotted at #EEA2025 our LSE Econ PhD student Romano Tarsia presenting 'Heterogeneous effects of weather shocks on firm economic performance'. His research shows smaller firms in warmer regions are hit hardest, highlighting the need for targeted climate adaptation strategies.

The EEA 2025 Congress in Bordeaux was so good—probably the best conference food (and wine) ever.

The @resmedia.bsky.social annual conference was exceptionally good.

Wearing a suit during the hottest day of the year wasn’t!

The @aereorg.bsky.social summer conference was incredibly high level, and I expected a much more competitive atmosphere — but instead, it was welcoming and friendly.

Academia can be tough — competitive, isolating — but this field has some of the kindest, most supportive people I’ve met.

#AERE2025 was worth every flight hour. Fantastic people, great papers, insightful comments, and wonderful avenue in New Mexico.

Comprehensive Warming Stripes by @edhawkins.org
The Warming Stripes have now been extended downwards into the ocean and upwards into the stratosphere!

Collaborative paper which tells the story of how the stripes were developed, and discusses their extension across the Earth system, is now available in BAMS: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

After being a trainee five years ago, I had the chance to return to the @ecb.europa.eu last week - this time to present my paper at the DG Economics seminar series.

What a moment!

Are you a researcher working on the intersection of Environment and Politics, with a particular focus on populism?
If so, you should definitely apply to the "Environmental Populism Conference" organised here at the LSE.

Deadline: 21st of March.

The rapid degradation of Earth’s ecosystems has significant implications for economic production. To assess those implications, in this new paper the authors build a macroeconomic model that includes natural capital and ecosystem dynamics and is subjected to uncertainty.

This study highlights the importance of considering natural capital and the role of uncertainty in macroeconomic models.

Mark your calendars.📅
On 10 January 2025, we will release the Global Climate Highlights 2024, presenting the most critical climate data and insights from this year, almost certainly the hottest on record and the first to cross the 1.5°C threshold.

Stay tuned#CopernicusClimateate
