Thomas Sterner is a professor of environmental economics in Gothenburg. He has during three decades built up the Unit for Environmental Economics with a staff of about a dozen PhDs and a number of graduate students. He has trained more five dozen PhDs in a unique PhD program in environmental economics, most of them from developing countries (financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida) as well as many masters and undergraduate students. He has created a world-wide network of environmental economics called Environment for Development. Prof. Thomas has twice hosted very large international conferences: 2008 he arranged the European EAERE conference and 2018 the World Conference of Environmental and Resource Economics.
He have published over 140 articles in refereed journals, authored or edited more than a dozen fifteen books and a large number of book chapters and official reports. He have also authored my share of journalistic articles ranging from having my own opinion piece in local media to writing for New York Times, FT, Le Monde or the Times. The main focus of my work is on environmental policy instruments with applications to energy and climate, industry, transport economics and finally resource management in developing countries. Many of these areas benefit substantially from interdisciplinary collaboration with natural scientists, engineers, medical or other experts and this is a very enjoyable and exciting part of professional life.
