The 1st Annual Hoffmann Centre / CEPR / ReCIPE Conference features a dynamic mix of academic and policy-oriented sessions across three thematic strands: climate and nature, peace and conflict, and topics in global sustainability. It brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to co-create solutions for a more sustainable and peaceful world. 

The event is co-organised by the Hoffmann Centre for Global Sustainability (HCGS), an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to advancing actionable knowledge on global environmental and sustainability challenges, the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the premier global network of economists advancing policy-relevant research, and Reducing Conflict and Improving Performance in the Economy (ReCIPE), a research initiative funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and managed by CEPR, focused on mitigating and preventing conflict and improving economic outcomes through evidence-based policy.
