• Evaluate behavioural and traditional policy interventions for promoting pro-environmental behavior;
• Assess green innovation and its determinants;
• Study the interplay between various sustainable development goals;
• Identify robust policy strategies to climate risks and uncertainties;
• Identify technological and societal transition pathways;
• Study climate induced migration.
