Economics of Environment and Energy (EEE)
The Economics of Environment and Energy (EEE) Programme gathers a dynamic group of leading researchers and students working on the interaction between human activity and the natural environment. We capture work on how economic growth can be made cleaner but also on how to increase resilience to the environmental damages from this growth, to protect people and the planet.
Our objective is to increase focus on these concerns among economists and to generate the transformative and policy-relevant research needed to address environmental and energy challenges at scale and speed.
Our areas of interest fall under four main themes: (1) Climate Adaptation and Resilience; (2) Regulation and Markets; (3) Innovation, Clean Energy and Growth; and (4) Natural Capital.
We collaborate with many internal and external partners to bring together an international community of researchers, policymakers and practitioners focused on these issues, in order to translate research into evidence-based policymaking around the world.
We also help train the next generation of scholars working on the economics of environment and energy by running a pre-doctoral research assistant programme, supervising LSE PhD students, holding an annual conference for PhD students from across the world working on environmental economics, and providing opportunities for the next generation of researchers to showcase their work.
