In recent years, the global transition toward sustainable and low-carbon economic systems has encountered increasing political and social resistance. This phenomenon—broadly termed "anti-environmentalism"—encompasses a range of behaviors, beliefs, and policy stances that oppose or undermine environmental regulation, renewable energy expansion, and climate mitigation efforts. While green growth remains a central framework for reconciling economic development with ecological preservation, its implementation is increasingly conditioned by public acceptance, political will, and institutional credibility. Understanding how and why opposition to environmental policy arises—and how it interacts with economic incentives and policy design—is therefore a critical problem from both policy and academic perspectives.

It is therefore essential to examine the implications for pathways toward green growth and sustainable development when environmental considerations—particularly those related to climate change—are neglected under the influence of anti-environmentalist attitudes. This concern is made more urgent by scientific evidence indicating that climate change increases both the frequency and magnitude of extreme events, thereby amplifying expected damages. Moreover, the growing likelihood of transgressing critical planetary boundaries underscores the importance of understanding anti-environmentalist movements, which, if embedded in policy, could accelerate such boundary crossings. In addition, anti-environmentalist positions may hinder the mechanisms of creative destruction that facilitate transitions to low-carbon economies, offering a further area of relevance for the proposed Special Issue.

This Special Issue will bring together leading research in environmental economics, macroeconomics, political economy, and behavioral economics to explore the drivers, dynamics, and implications of anti-environmentalism for sustainable growth. It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how economic systems can maintain progress toward green growth amidst political polarization and societal backlash. We welcome a broad range of techniques and approaches, including optimal control, game theory, political economy, and network theory. Special attention will be given to methodological (theoretical, empirical or experimental) contributions aiming at disentangling the multifaceted nature of the anti-environmentalism and green growth relationship.

This Call for Papers is related to the HEDGE (Health, Environment, Development and Growth Economics) conference which will take place in Pisa on 5-7 February 2026, but it is open to everyone. Both conference participants and non-participants are encouraged to submit high-quality papers dealing with topics related to anti-environmentalism and green growth, broadly defined.

Potential topics

• Economic, social and political determinants of anti-environmental attitudes and behavior
• The impact of populism, misinformation, and lobbying on climate and environmental policy outcomes
• Public perception and resistance to carbon taxation, green industrial policies, and regulation
• Distributional and equity aspects of green growth as sources of policy backlash
• The role of institutions and governance in shaping environmental resistance
• International and comparative analyses of anti-environmental movements and climate cooperation
• Behavioral and cultural dimensions of environmental skepticism and pro-growth narratives
• Policy strategies for overcoming anti-environmentalist sentiment and fostering green, just and inclusive transitions
• Economic growth under increasing climate-related extreme event risk, and the costs of climate skepticism

Mortality risk reductions typically dominate the benefits estimates for environmental policies. Recent reviews and syntheses of the value per statistical life (VSL) literature suggest that, while the research base is relatively strong for some settings, it contains significant gaps and inconsistencies. These include the need for more research on how attributes of the population and the risk affect these values. Deciding how to best synthesize and apply the estimates is also challenging.

The value of nonfatal risk reductions receives substantially less attention, although the expected reduction in cases of nonfatal illnesses or injuries associated with environmental policies is frequently large. As is the case for mortality risks, estimates of individual willingness to pay (WTP) are the preferred measure of values. However, due to gaps in the research literature, these risks are often valued using proxies such as averted costs.

Current approaches to valuation also raise a number of questions such as how to appropriately combine values for co-occurring effects and how to address distributional equity. Recent and emerging research addresses all of these problems, including new best practice WTP studies for mortality and morbidity, improved approaches for combining results across studies and transferring the estimates to different contexts, and innovations to address related challenges.

This special issue will highlight important contributions to this work and provide a useful reference for those interested in applying or building upon the results.

Potential topics

• Value per statistical life (VSL) and population attributes affecting mortality risk valuations
• Valuation of nonfatal risk reductions and morbidity using willingness to pay approaches
• Synthesis and application of health valuation estimates across different contexts
• Addressing co-occurring effects and distributional equity in health valuations
• Benefit transfer methods and meta-analysis approaches for health valuation
• Best practice willingness to pay studies for mortality and morbidity risk reductions
• Combining and transferring valuation estimates to different policy contexts
• Methodological innovations in environmental health economic evaluation
