Welcome to my homepage! I am an economist studying how individuals and societies adapt and mitigate against the impacts of climate and environmental change. Contact me about independent consulting through the consulting tab. 

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.
