9th Conference on Econometric Models of Climate Change (EMCC)
The 9th Conference on Econometric Models of Climate Change (EMCC) will take place at the University of Victoria (UVic) on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, on August 27th-28th 2025.
The conference brings together economists, econometricians, climate scientists, statisticians, and policy researchers to improve our understanding of climate change, its impacts, and effective policy solutions. The EMCC conference series was established in 2016 and has been supported by themed issues of the Journal of Econometrics, Energy Economics, and Advances in Econometrics. Previous iterations of the conference are linked here.
The 9th EMCC conference is supported by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions as well as the UVic Department of Economics, and Faculty of Social Science.
