Hi, I am new here, and a complex systems scientist looking at solving humanity’s and Earth’s large-scale issues.
I would ask that as you are an economist, pls don’t forget to discuss opportunity cost, as well as externalities and intangibles ( which require more research on metrics), to help ppl reframe the issues and their mindset.
Also, for future researchers, the research itself that remains undone in establishing standards and metrics is critical. Things like ecosystem services are still under a banner of “invisibles ” for most ppl, yet maintaining this core infrastructure is critical to all other services and infrastructures. Metrics on this are, imo, way underestimated, yet their cascade effect and high impact due to effects on entire cities, countries,civilizations, is extremely high.
So for students, paths of research that will intrinsically aid EA metrics and arguments are very high value.
Glad to see all this info, and amazing ppl!
