Carbon Economy Day 2024

The event gave participants the opportunity to discuss the economy and carbon, centring on the question: How does the economy shed light on climate issues? with a focus on the mitigation of GHG emissions and carbon sequestration in the agricultural and food sectors, and on the role of public policy and the markets.

More than 150 people, including 60 students from the Agro Institutes in Rennes-Angers and AgroParisTech Paris-Saclay, attended the presentations by Marc Fleurbaey (Paris School of Economics), Hugo Valin (OECD), Claire Chenu (INRAE/University of Paris-Saclay), Stéphane De Cara (INRAE, Université Paris-Saclay) and Alan Matthews (Trinity College Dublin) on the AgroParis-Saclay campus.
