European Institute on Economics and the Environment – EIEE

Founded in 2018 by CMCC in a transatlantic alliance with Resources for the Future (RFF), EIEE has since become a beacon in climate research. Our researchers and tools have proudly contributed to landmark global assessments, including IPCC reports.

EIEE stands at the intersection of environment and economics, evaluating sustainable and socially inclusive strategies to combat climate change and other major environmental challenges. We are committed to improving environmental, energy, and natural resource decisions through impartial socio-economic research and policy engagement. We are a central hub for research insights and policy solutions, within Europe and internationally.


Research Avenues

At EIEE, we delve deep into:

  • Evaluation of strategies towards net-zero emissions and beyond.
  • Quantitative Analysis of the socio-economic ramifications of environmental and climatic hazards.
  • Frameworks to evaluate and inform policy design to promote environmental and social sustainability.

Our Expertise

Grounded in quantitative methodologies, EIEE also embraces qualitative and behavioral sciences to shape its research landscape. Our analytical capacity includes:

  • Computational Models: A diversity of numerical approaches to studying the inter-relation between the environment, economy, and society.
  • Empirical Methods: Data-informed approaches to illuminate the efficacy of policies to catalyze a green transformation and bolster societal resilience.

Multidisciplinary Approach

While our primary lens zeroes in on economic and policy paradigms, we champion a holistic, multidisciplinary perspective. Our team brings together fields like economics, applied mathematics, behavioral, political, and environmental sciences.

CMCC EIEE’s expertise combines multidisciplinary research areas, including:

  • Sustainable Transitions to Net-zero and Beyond
  • Environmental Impacts and Adaptation
  • Climate, Finance, Macroeconomics, and Trade
  • Environmental & Social Justice
  • Innovation and Circularity
  • Sustainable Behaviors
  • Societal Changes and Political Economy
  • Health and Migration
  • Biodiversity
  • Resilient Cities
