[Jennifer Hadden]

DEEP CLIMATE CONVERSATIONS 
 
Topic: “Business Responses to Climate Change” 
 
Wednesday, April 26 
12:00-1:15 PM EST  (9:00-10:15 am PST)

 
The Environmental Politics and Governance network (epgnetwork.org) has launched a new initiative, Deep Climate Conversations. This will be an online structured roundtable (i.e., questions circulated in advance to speakers) on a specific issue. The objective is to explore climate issues at a deeper, theoretical level.   

This will be a 75-minute event: 60 minutes for discussion of planned questions, leaving about 15 minutes for comments from the audience. We have scheduled it for April 26, 12:00-1:15pm EST.

Please register in advance here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. 

Moderators
Jennifer Hadden, University of Maryland, College Park

Panelists
Michael Barnett, Rutgers University
Magali (Maggie) Delmas, UCLA
Jennifer Griffin, Loyola University Chicago
Llewelyn Hughes, Australian National University
Jonas Meckling, UC Berkeley


The roundtable will focus on the following questions: 
 

• What are the key questions about business response to climate change in your discipline? Are mitigation and adaptation covered equally? What are the key findings?
• Traditionally, conservatives have taken a pro-business position in politics. Is this political alignment still relevant in the context of climate change issues?  
• What are the most pressing research frontiers in the study of business response to climate change?
