Dear Tiziano,
I write to introduce you to Economists for Future?s open letter that is calling on the economics community to raise its game and devise a more impactful contribution to tackling climate change. Economists for Future is an international student-led organisation with the aim to put pressure on the economics community to treat climate change like the emergency it is.
While many economists have shown great academic leadership on this issue, the overall contribution from the community has not been commensurate with the magnitude of the problem. The shortage of climate change related articles in top journals is one such demonstration. For example, the most-cited journal in our discipline has never published an article on climate change [https://lists.econ4future.org/links/iJ9AW4JXP/PfQP6QyMO/aMbvBGRdzdg/YJmX2liJ...].
As the next generation of economists, as young people who will live through the most severe climate effects and as individuals with a deep belief in the power of good economics to make the world a better place, we feel an acute pressure to ?do more? that we are hoping you will share. We think economists have both a responsibility and an enormous opportunity to have an even greater contribution to help tackle this emergency.
The open letter (attempts to) make the case for economists seizing this opportunity to provide the intellectual framework that enables a rapid decarbonisation that is coupled with a great leap in human progress.
We would like to invite you to support this initiative by signing the letter, which you can do by filling out the form on our website. [https://lists.econ4future.org/links/iJ9AW4JXP/PfQP6QyMO/aMbvBGRdzdg/K8_4G0of...]
And, if you agree with it, we would kindly ask you to share your support among your social and academic networks. If you have any questions about our initiative or the letter, we would love to hear from you ? at the end of the day, we are curious students that desire more from the discipline we want to dedicate our lives to.
Kind Regards, Luisa Jentsch Economists For Future
