Post-Conference Workshop – 30th EAERE Annual Conference  
20 June 2025 | Norwegian School of Economics – NHH, Bergen (Norway) AUDITORIUM Q
More information

A workshop on the macro-economic Multimodel Intercomparison Project focused on indirect economic impacts of extreme events (macroMIP), will take place on June 20, 2025, at the Norwegian School of Economics – NHH in Bergen (Norway). Organized by the MYRIAD-EU project and the climate extremes research group, the event will directly follow the EAERE 30th Annual Conference and will feature a keynote address by Francesco Bosello, CMCC Principal Scientist.

The macroMIP workshop is a post-conference event of EAERE 2025, the 30th Annual Conference of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, whose Secretariat is managed by CMCC.

Workshop abstract

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, the workshop will create the protocol and agenda for a larger-scale macro-economic Model Intercomparison Project (macroMIP).
