Did you know that your research is on Green Growth?\u00a0At the Kiel Institute for the World Economy<\/span>
\nNovember 15-16 2012<\/span><\/h3>\n

This young researcher conference invites Postdocs and PhD students to challenge the concept of Green Growth from different angles. There is little specific research on this new buzzword, while many studies indirectly contribute to this topic. Thus, we ask young researchers to discuss Green Growth against their background while looking beyond the rim of their disciplines and connect with other researchers.<\/p>\n

We welcome submissions from relevant fields such as environmental sciences, political science, natural sciences and engineering, sociology, law, ethics, or economics. The focus of the conference is on interdisciplinary cooperation in research on Green Growth.<\/p>\n

Speakers include:<\/p>\n

Ulrich Hoffmann (UNCTAD) (confirmed)
\nMojib Latif (GEOMAR) (confirmed)
\nDennis Snower (Kiel Institute) (confirmed)
\nNathalie Girouard (OECD) (confirmed)
\nJ\u00f6rg Mayer-Ries (BMU) (confirmed)<\/p>\n

Program Highlights:
\nRoundtable Discussion on Conflicting Views on Green Growth
\nPractical Session on Strategies for research in interdisciplinary teams<\/p>\n

Best Paper Award: 500 EUR<\/span><\/p>\n

Conference theme<\/span>
\n\u201cGreen Growth\u201d is a frequently heard buzzword in the research and policy consulting arenas. Researchers from a multitude of disciplines argue that in the face of multiple environmental and socio-economic crises, modern societies will have to redefine their model for economic and societal progress. They postulate a shift away from a relatively exclusive focus on economic growth towards a
\ngrowth paradigm that takes into account challenges such as resource scarcity, climate change or growing inequalities. This requires a qualitatively different growth model. Several governments have already reacted and see Green Growth as a promising strategy to overcome the shortcomings of the current model.<\/p>\n

Due to the novelty and the relative broadness of the Green Growth concept, systematic research on the topic seems scarce at first sight. Yet, extensive research on how to reconcile economic prosperity and environmental protection has already been done \u2013 usually not explicitly under the Green Growth umbrella, but nevertheless relevant for the concept. This young researcher conference aims to serve as a platform for young researchers to challenge the concept of Green Growth from different angles by presenting their work while at the same time attempting a roundup of the scattered research that has been done already.<\/p>\n

In particular, but not exclusively, we invite contributions from the following topics:
\n\u2022 Agriculture
\n\u2022 Ecosystems
\n\u2022 Consumer behaviour
\n\u2022 Ecological justice and environmental regulation
\n\u2022 Energy
\n\u2022 International cooperation and governance
\n\u2022 Resource conflicts
\n\u2022 Technology
\n\u2022 Trade (particularly in environmental goods)<\/p>\n
