The 25^th Annual Conference of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists will be held on Tuesday, June 23 – Friday, July 3, 2020, online! Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the city government of Berlin has decided that all physical events at universities have to be cancelled until the end of July. Therefore EAERE together with the PC and LOC decided to hold this year’s conference as a virtual event.

This year’s EAERE conference evolves around Friday, June 26, which incorporates all centrally organized sessions including opening and closing ceremonies, a plenary keynote on the European Green Deal and three invited sessions taking place in a semi-plenary format. In addition, almost 150 Policy, Thematic and Parallel Sessions are decentrally organized by volunteer presenters. The decentral sessions take place between June 23 and July 3 with a concentration between Wednesday, June 24 and Saturday, June 27. In total, about 570 papers will be presented, and an additional 70 papers will be uploaded to a conference database.
