Prof Thomas Sterner was recently invited speaker at the World Bank ABCDE conference held in Stockholm June 2010 on Green Growth and Climate Change.
Each year the World Bank organizes the Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE), which is one of the world’s best known series of conferences for the presentation of new knowledge on development.
First held in Washington DC in 1988, the series has become broader in scope as the world's economies have become more interconnected and challenges have grown more complex. Regional conferences reflect the increasing importance of research in developing countries.
This year the Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom is keynote speaker and Thomas Sterner, University of Gothenburg, is plenary speaker at ABCDE Sweden from May 31-June 2,2010.
