The Climate Protection Division
The Division was established on December 14, 2022, during a meeting of the Board of the Polish Association of Environmental and Natural Resource Economists, at the request of Association members.
The Division’s activities focus on the following areas — both from a theoretical and practical perspective:
-
Participation in public debate on interdisciplinary aspects of climate change;
-
Promoting climate-oriented planning in strategic documents (at all levels of governance);
-
Reviewing draft legal acts and strategic documents;
-
Broadly understood climate education (formal and informal);
-
Building and strengthening public awareness of climate change, including engagement in community initiatives.
Chair of the Division: Dr Agnieszka Sobol (Institute of Environmental Protection – National Research Institute)
Secretary of the Division: Dr Paulina Legutko-Kobus (SGH Warsaw School of Economics)
As of February 2025, the Division has 28 members.
Only members of the Polish Association of Environmental and Natural Resource Economists may join the Division.
The window of opportunity for climate-resilient development is rapidly closing.
