The increasing challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, natural resource scarcity, and the transition toward sustainable economies call for robust quantitative methods to support evidence-based policy evaluation and decision-making. Addressing these complex and interconnected issues requires the integration of advanced analytical approaches drawn from economics, statistics, econometrics, and environmental sciences.

Environmental Econometrics has emerged as a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field that develops and applies rigorous methodological tools to analyze environmental and energy-related phenomena, assess the effectiveness of public policies, and inform sustainable development strategies. By combining theoretical advances with empirical applications, the discipline contributes significantly to our understanding of the economic and environmental dimensions of global sustainability challenges.

The CE2 2026 Symposium provides an international forum for researchers, academics, practitioners, and policymakers to present recent methodological developments and empirical findings, exchange ideas and experiences, and foster interdisciplinary and international collaborations. The symposium aims to promote scientific dialogue on contemporary environmental issues and to strengthen the role of quantitative methods in addressing pressing global challenges.

The scientific program welcomes contributions in a broad range of areas including, but not limited to, environmental econometrics and statistical methodology, climate change economics, renewable energy and the energy transition, environmental policy evaluation, carbon pricing and environmental taxation, biodiversity and ecosystem valuation, sustainable agriculture and water resource management, spatial and panel econometrics with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), time-series analysis and extreme-value statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence for environmental data, as well as green finance and sustainable development.

By bringing together leading scholars and professionals from diverse disciplines and geographical regions, CE2 2026 seeks to advance methodological innovation, encourage interdisciplinary research, and contribute to the development of effective and scientifically grounded solutions for environmental sustainability.

As a newly established institution, the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences of Nador (FEMSN) aims to engage actively with its socio-cultural environment, enhance its impact and influence, and foster national and international cooperation. The Faculty attaches major importance in its policy of openness to congresses and scientific activities likely to complete the training process and promote scientific research and innovation. 

It is therefore with this objective in mind that the sixth edition of the "International Conference on Econometrics for Environment", hosted by the FEMSN and jointly organized on 17 and 18 December 2026  by: 

• The FEMSN, is taking place; 

• Mohammed V University in Rabat (FSJES-Souissi); 

•  The National Institute of Statistics and Applied Economics (INSEA); 

• The Moroccan Association of Regional Sciences (AMSR).

In partnership with:  

• The National School of Forest Engineers (ENFI), Morocco;

• The International Network for Economic Research, Germany.

The program of the conference will run over three days and comprise plenary, oral and poster sessions and a round table designed to promote exchanges between academics, practitioners and policymakers in  large domains including the privileged themes of this scientific meeting as well as a training course for young researchers and Master/PhD students.
