Announcing the 4th Development Economics Conference (DEC) 2024

Technology, Innovation and the Environment: Challenges for Sustainable Development
Rapid technological changes have both transformative and disruptive consequences which help advance sustainable development but can also frustrate it. Judicious application of new and emerging technologies can conceivably facilitate faster progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But technological changes, especially if they are rapid in their applications (e.g., during the COVID pandemic), can also disrupt markets and economies, exacerbate social division, and bring up ethical and normative questions to be resolved. 
Considerations involving the direction, distribution, and diversity of innovation pathways in the context of the SDGs can be helpful to policymakers in their selection of emerging innovations that help minimise, if not avoided, the economic, social, and environmental challenges brought about by past technological changes. 
This conference aims to provide a timely platform for scholars (especially, postgraduate researchers (PGRs) and early career researchers (ECRs)), practitioners and policymakers to exchange ideas and views on the contemporary sustainable development challenges. It is particularly looking forward to contributions from academics, policymakers, and members of the business community sharing specialist research and useful general information that can help generate policy ideas and have impacts beyond academia.
