What if the biggest economic risks of the 21st century are not financial crises but climate change, energy transition, and resource scarcity?
Today, sustainability is no longer just an environmental concern it is at the core of economic policy, investment decisions, and long-term growth strategies. From carbon pricing and labor market shocks to green innovation and energy markets, the global economy is being reshaped in real time.
Young Economists Society invites students, researchers, and professionals to join Sustainability Day — a research-focused event exploring the economics behind sustainability and the green transition.
This event brings together leading scholars and experts to discuss how economic tools, empirical research, and policy design can address climate risks, support sustainable growth, and guide investment in a rapidly changing world.
