Workshop on Climate Change Economics
Material Use and Sustainability
September 14, 2023, Online
As the low-hanging fruits of energy efficiency have been harvested, the role of resource use, particularly material use and its embedded emissions, is becoming increasingly important in meeting both net-zero carbon targets and the Sustainable Development Goals. The research project led by Prof. Dr. Etem Karakaya and funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TUBİTAK) focuses on this crucial topic and investigates the critical role of materials from the sustainable development perspective, with a special emphasis on material efficiency and rebound effects, as well as their connection with energy efficiency for climate mitigation.
We cordially invite you to participate in the Workshop on the Economics of Climate Change: Material Use and Sustainability, to be held online on September 14, 2023.
The main purpose of the workshop is to provide a platform for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge, insights, and ideas about materials and their crucial role in sustainable development, as well as to discuss the materials-climate change nexus from different perspectives.
There is no registration fee. The papers can be submitted in Turkish and English. The workshop will be online.
