Workshop on a macro-economic Multimodel Intercomparison Project on indirect economic impacts of extreme events (macroMIP)
Post-Conference Workshop - 30th Annual Conference of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists
Date: June 20, 2025 from 10:30 am to 5 pm CEST
Location: Norwegian School of Economics - NHH, Bergen (Norway)
The MYRIAD-EU project and the research group climate extremes are pleased to announce a workshop on a macro-economic Multimodel Intercomparison Project on indirect economic impacts of extreme events (macroMIP), scheduled to take place on June 20, 2025 at the Norwegian School of Economics - NHH in Bergen (Norway). The workshop will be staged directly following the EAERE 30th Annual Conference.
The Workshop: Climate change will intensify extreme events like droughts, floods, and heavy rainfall, leading to significant societal costs. Accurately assessing the economic impacts of these climate extremes on a global level is crucial for quantifying avoided costs from climate change impacts and evaluating the benefits of mitigation policies. These local and short-term climate extremes can have ripple effects across global supply chains, causing substantial indirect impacts that are often overlooked in climate economic modelling. Including indirect impacts in climate economic models is complicated as models differ in their depiction of cascading impacts and in the representation of recovery efforts.
Motivated by a pilot study performed as part of the MYRIAD-EU project where indirect impacts of hazard events in the Danube region on European economies were investigated using a range of macro-economic models, this workshop will create the protocol and agenda for a more large-scale macro-economic Model Intercomparison Project (macroMIP).
