(in Polish) Ekonomia Energii i Klimatu 2400-PLSM152B
Possible topics related to the economics of energy and climate:
• Consequences of climate change for the economy and society
• Low-emission technologies and their development – renewable energy sources
• Low-emission technologies and their development – electric transport
• Shifts in the direction of technological progress
• Integrated Assessment Models
• Designing global climate policy and the IPCC cycle
• Determining optimal energy mixes for Poland
• Changes in economic structure driven by climate policy
• Risks associated with decarbonization for the Polish labor market
• Review of Poland’s Energy Policy
• Review of the National Energy and Climate Plan
• European Union Energy Policy – EU ETS system, climate targets
The meetings will take the form of discussions on selected topics from the list above (to be agreed upon between the students and the instructor). The basis for discussion will be scientific articles on the chosen topics as well as IPCC reports.
