应对气候变化，向可持续发展转型——中国和世界的未来

欧洲/英国中国经济学会2021年会

-征文通知-

气候变化是这个时代面临的最大挑战之一，它威胁着全球数十亿人的生命和生计。从本质上讲，应对气候变化有助于实现更可持续的发展。2015年巴黎气候变化大会(COP)达成了一个重要的政治成果，190多个国家在此承诺通过减少温室气体排放和增强对气候影响的抵御能力，采取积极措施应对气候变化。根据《巴黎协定》，到2030年，全球碳排放量应在2010年的基础上减少45%。

作为世界上最大的二氧化碳排放国和最大的市场之一，中国最近承诺到2030年达到二氧化碳排放峰值，并在2060年前实现碳中和。中国的碳减排承诺不仅将在应对全球气候变化方面发挥重要作用，还将影响世界其他地区如何从化石燃料转向更可持续的低碳和循环经济。在令人失望的第25次缔约方会议之后，目前气候行动的希望被寄托于2021年11月在格拉斯哥举行的第26次缔约方会议上。作为第26次缔约方会议的后续活动，欧洲/英国中国经济学会、爱丁堡大学商学院和赫瑞瓦特大学爱丁堡商学院将于2021年12月4日至5日联合组织一次在线学术会议，将国际学者、政策制定者和行业专业人士聚集在一起，展示和分享他们在应对气候变化以加速可持续发展相关问题上的研究。现面向海内外广大学者征集围绕本主题研讨的学术论文。欢迎赐稿！

CALL FOR PAPERS 

13th Chinese Economic Association (CEA Europe) and 32th CEA UK Annual Conference

The conference theme: “Tackling Climate Change and Transition to Sustainable Development - The Future of China and the World” 

Date: 4-5th December, 2021 

Venue:  Virtual

Co-organizers: 

CEA Europe/UK; University of Edinburgh; Heriot-Watt University 

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our times, and it threatens the lives and livelihoods of billions of people around the globe. In essence, tackling climate change enables more sustainable development. The 2015 Paris climate change conference (COP) was a momentous political outcome as more than 190 nations have committed to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and becoming more resilient to climate impacts. Under Paris Agreement, the world should cut carbon emissions by 45% from 2010 levels by 2030. 

As one of the world’s largest emitters of carbon dioxide and biggest markets, China recently pledged to reach peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral before 2060. China’s green commitments will not only play a major role in combatting global climate change but also in shaping how the rest of the world progresses with its transition away from fossil fuels to a more sustainable low-carbon and circular economy. After a disappointing COP25, the hopes for decisive climate action now reside on a better outcome of COP26 which take place in Glasgow in November 2021. Taking place in the follow-up to COP26,  CEA (Europe/UK), University of Edinburgh Business School and Heriot-Watt University Ediburgh Business School are jointly organising an online academic conference to bring together international academics, policy makers and industry professionals,to provide them with the opportunity to present and share their research and interests on issues relating to tackling climate change to accelerate sustainable development. 

Submissions are encouraged from scholars and research students that use different theoretical, empirical and experimental approaches to understand sustainable development from different perspectives, including (but not limited to) economics, finance, innovation, strategy, management, entrepreneurship and environmental science. While not exhaustive, the following list suggests possible issues that would be appropriate to address in this conference:

·  Pathways to a sustainable economy, including sector-specific studies

·  Assessing, pricing and managing climate and environmental risk exposures

·  The financial implications of ESG investing

·  Big data and artificial intelligence in climate finance

·  Accounting for sustainability and responsible investing

·  The links between energy/commodities and financial markets

·  Carbon markets and climate derivatives

·  Climate stress tests

·  The financing of the transition (such as climate finance, fintech, incentives, fiscal policy)

·   Measuring, managing, and monetizing the impact of sustainability

·   Climate change and corporate financial policies

·   Inclusive green growth to address poverty, unemployment and inequality

·   Financing renewable and emerging technologies 

·   The interplay between industrial policy, trade policy and sustainability

·   Economic, social and political transformations

·   General equilibrium modelling of the interaction of climate risk and economy

·   The land, water, energy, food nexus and biological resources and sustainable growth

·    Governance and sustainability

·    Regulatory issues and challenges in addressing climate change

• The Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies (JCEBS) will publish a special issue based on this CEA annual conference and thereby encourage submissions from conference participants. Authors can make the submission either before or after the conference by following the link: https://www.edmgr.com/rcea/. JCEBS is aninterdisciplinary international journal publishing original research on sustainable development issues from multidisciplinary perspectives, including economics, finance, and international business. China and non-China settings are equally acceptable. Its recent CiteScore (1.8) ranks it top 30% among 243 journals in “General Economics, Econometrics and Finance”. JCEBS publishes various types of high-quality research, including full articles, research letters and review articles. It also offers a fast track option for manuscripts that were rejected after R&R from ABS-3/4 or ABDC-A/A* journals.
