The School will be held on September 23-27, 2024 at the Department of Economics of the University of Roma Tre. The School will be organized in 7 teaching modules and 2 lab sessions. A roundtable with invited speakers and open discussion will conclude the School.
The School will also offer the opportunity to students to present a research proposal. The best proposal will be awarded with a scholarship for a research-visiting period abroad.
AIM
In recent times, climate-related extreme events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts have become more frequent and call for a timely and effective responses by both central and local administrators. In fact, despite improvements in early warning systems and post-disaster recovery measures, extreme events still have devastating impacts on societies and take a huge toll in terms of casualties, material deprivation, productivity and altered power relations. The aim of the Summer School is to explore the economic analysis of risk assessment and warning systems, discuss planning and recovery strategies to mitigate, prepare for, and respond to natural hazards, and provide an in-depth inquiry into successful adaptation strategies for reducing the negative impacts of climate-related extreme events.
