On behalf of the Charles University Environment Centre, I would like to congratulate Professor Nordhaus and Professor Romer on winning the 2018 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. Both scholars have broadened the scope of standard economic analysis by constructing models that help us to understand how the market economy interacts with climate change and technological innovations.

My sincerest congratulations go in particular to Professor Nordhaus, with whom I had the privilege to work at the Conference of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists held in Prague in 2012 that my colleagues and I had the honour of organising. Professor Nordhaus gave a keynote lecture at the EAERE-2012 Conference. You can find the video of the keynote lecture here.
