Third Macro-economic Multimodel Intercomparison Project Workshop, 20 November, Athens
The macro-economic Multimodel Intercomparison Project on indirect economic impacts of extreme events (macroMIP) is pleased to announce the third macroMIP workshop, scheduled to take place on November 20th, 2026 from 10:00 to 13:00, in Athens (Greece). The workshop will take place directly following the IAMC conference, so if you are going to IAMC please stay another day and join us in person. For those not coming to Athens we will also offer a hybrid option.
The aim of macroMIP is to perform a stock take of the direct and indirect economic impacts of climate change and climate related extreme events in macro-economic models. This will allow a greater understanding of how the indirect impacts of climate change contribute to the total impacts on the world economy.
A first macroMIP simulation round has been completed based on stylized experiments as a proving the feasibility of the experiment protocol, overcoming various challenges of intermodel consistency and harmonization. During this workshop we will discuss the protocol for the next round of experiments which will be driven by climate impact projections from ISIMIP. These experiments will be relevant to the IAM community informing on the indirect macro-economic effects from climate impacts, rather than relying solely on direct damages.
Participation: Registration is free. Questions and inquiries can be directed to Benjamin Blanz at benjamin.blanz@uni-hamburg.de. Please register for the Workshop until 31 Oktober 2026 via email.
Workshop Programme: The workshop will be held from 10:00 to 13:00 at the IAMC venue.
- Presentation of results from the first simulation round.
- Discussion about the first macroMIP paper
- Discussion of the protocol for the second simulation round drive by projected climate impacts.
Organisers: The Workshop is organised by Jana Sillmann and Benjamin Blanz with support by Vito Avakumovic and Arnaz Dholakia.
The workshop is funded by the Cluster of Excellence Climate, Climatic Change and Society (CLICCS) at the University of Hamburg.
