envecon 2026

envecon this year has two main aims.

The first is in the name – to keep nature in the conversation.

We are living in a time when the world is grappling with rising tensions, potential armed conflicts and cost of living crises.

Even those decision makers who are aware of the economic importance of nature are finding it difficult to make the argument.

The second is to honour two leaders in environmental economics, Prof Willis (d. 2025) and Prof Pearce (d. 2005).

They inspired many of us to enter - and stay - in this profession.

They tirelessly and innovatively repeated the message that, without nature, there is no life, no economy, no growth.

They also understood that solutions lie in collaboration with others and that the economist’s role is to draw together insights from multiple disciplines to build cohesive and comprehensive arguments.

This year’s programme will show the strength of economic evidence, we will learn about tools to improve how we communicate that evidence and we will renew our shared commitment, energy and sense of camaraderie across the network.
