Summer School 2010
“Climate Change: zooming in on the problem and its solution”

Director: Prof. Anil Markandya (BC3 Basque Centre for Climate Change – Klima Aldaketa Ikergai)

The objective of the summer school is to offer an updated view of the ongoing trends in the frontier of Climate Change research. The school will be designed to study Climate Change issue from a multidisciplinary approach, allowing for an integrated view and understanding of the problem. Different editions of the school might specialise in different approaches to the analysis of Climate Change.

This first edition will be devoted to the socioeconomics of Climate Change and has been designed with the aim of becoming an integral part of a European Master’s course offered by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in the near future. The invited speakers will be selected attending to their expertise and knowledge on the issue. The school is open to PhD students, Postdoctoral fellows and other researchers as well as policy makers interested in acquiring a deep understanding of Climate Change and the policies designed to fight it. .

The summer school will encourage interaction between students, lecturers and the two institutions involved in organising the school. We will provide the opportunity for a limited number of students to present their research work to the rest of the participants, so they can share their results, experiences, and updates. Relations will also be encouraged with other institutions specialising in the analysis of climate change, bringing new opportunities to participants of benefiting from specialised knowledge but with a comprehensive view of climate change
