Welcome to my homepage! I am an economist studying how individuals and societies adapt and mitigate against the impacts of climate and environmental change.

My name is Wesley (Wes) Howden. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at Wesleyan University. Prior, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Arizona Department of Economics and work with the Arizona Institute for Resilient Environments and Societies. I received my Ph.D. in economics at the University of California San Diego in 2021.
