Great job, @jakkerman.bsky.social! Want to learn more about conditions when economies successfully recover after #climate-induced #shocks , thrive or permanently decline? Stay tuned, we hope to share the paper soon. #ClimateRisk, #EconSky 🌍 @tudclimateaction.bsky.social #NWO #VIDI

Today I presented at the #SRA-E Benelux meeting on #transformational impacts of large environmental shocks on #regional #economies. Thank you for the nice questions, comments, and the inspiring sessions! @sc3team.bsky.social @tatianafilatova.bsky.social Supported by VIDI grant 191015.

✍️I visited British Steel last week - just as workers were discovering that the plant's Chinese owners were effectively planning to starve the blast furnaces to death. It was a strange, unsettling experience. With deep ramifications. Some thoughts: edconway.substack.com/p/the-strang...

Why the fate of a blast furnace in Scunthorpe might have much deeper implications for this country

3 SC3 members (@jakkerman.bsky.social, @ignasicortes.bsky.social, @chatzivasileiadis.bsky.social) presented their work on #economic #climate #adaptation to a room of fellow NL-based environmental economists at the DEARE Day 2025 in Wageningen. A great opportunity to receive feedback on our work!

Fresh off the printing press, @sof14g1l.bsky.social, @thorid.bsky.social, @jakkerman.bsky.social and @tatianafilatova.bsky.social investigate barriers and drivers of #Climate adaptation through a literature review using #NLP algorithms, as part of our VIDI project on social tipping points. Congrats!

Last Sunday Mario Draghi delivered a forceful speech, arguing that Europe has fallen into a vicious cycle of weak domestic demand, insufficient macroeconomic stimulus, depressed investment and low productivity growth cepr.org/system/files.... Here's a 🧵 on recent research related to this view.

@jakkerman.bsky.social is a PhD candidate researching the economic and financial dynamics arising from increasing climate hazards. He examines how societies adapt to these risks and investigates the endogenous processes that can lead to nonlinear outcomes, such as lock-ins and tipping points.

Macroeconomists cautiously proposing the idea that... problems that Fields medalists can occasionally handle *(in special cases) are perhaps not the best as-if models of agents' dynamic behavior

Rich countries don't want to repay low-income countries for adaptation. But remember that climate impacts for the average citizen of a low-income country at 1.5°C of global warming won't be felt by ~40% of people living in high-income countries until >3°C. That is climate injustice. #COP29
The study of Harrington (2018) underscores that changes in extreme heat, for example, will be felt by the average citizen of a low-income country after 1.5°C of global warming and will not be felt by about 40% of people living in high-income nations until well after double the amount of global warming is reached (3°C increase).

Another sobering article again highlighting the obvious: Our communities are largely not built to withstand marginally intense, let alone anomalously intense, weather events. Building better and smarter won't reduce risk to zero, but you're giving yourself a much better chance to limit impacts.

Our new study in Scientific Reports nature.com/articles/s41... shows that economic #damages of #climate-induced #SLR are higher than previously estimated. National damages mask the true costs of climate-induced #SLR that could be an order of magnitude higher. #EconSky #adapt @sc3team.bsky.social

“Should we intensify incremental #climate #change #adaptation or consider switching to #transformational?” is an important question to ask according to Deltacommissaris. In line w our VIDI: @joosakkerman @sof14g1l “But we have not yet found a private investor willing to put a € into some of these…”
