SANDEE call for research proposals

Call for Research Pre-Proposals ? Economics of Climate Change

Deadline July 15th 2010

The South Asian Network for Development and Environmental Economics (SANDEE) is a regional network that

brings together and strengthens South Asian researchers and institutions interested in the inter-connections between

development and the environment. SANDEE is currently inviting research pre-proposals on the Economics of Climate

Change. Pre-proposals, if accepted, will lead to an invitation to submit a full research proposal.

Human activity is altering the earth's climate with serious implications for food security, health, biodiversity and natural

disasters. South Asian countries will need to respond with strategies to both mitigate green house gases and adapt to

climate change. SANDEE would like to increase its support for research on the economics of climate change.

We are soliciting concept notes on the following topics: a) The benefits, costs and distributional impacts of specific

adaptation or mitigation strategies. b) Economy wide impacts of climate change policies through the use of macro-economic

models. c) Incentives related to international climate mitigation/adaptation instruments and climate negotiations.

d) Economic analyses of local and regional climate problems such as haze and black carbon and strategies to mitigate

these. e) Extreme events and the economic viability of 'adaptation instruments' such as insurance, improved natural

barriers or institutional responses.

SANDEE supports economics research related to environmental problems. Pre-proposals that do not have a

strong economics component will not be considered. However, multi-disciplinary projects are encouraged. Institutional

affiliation is required for receiving support. Pre-proposals will be evaluated on their academic merit and policy significance.

SANDEE will collect proposals throughout the next 12 months. However, in order to be considered for our next research

competition, please send concept notes by July 15th 2010. Grant budgets for the last few cycles have been around

15,000 USD for one to two year grants. Larger budgets are considered if a multidisciplinary research team of natural and

social scientists are involved with a clear definition of roles and tasks. Concept notes can be uploaded on the SANDEE

website at www.sandeeonline.com. Please contact us at [email protected], if you have additional queries.
