In the months following the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, the idea that climate change has an impact on economics and development has been gaining increased attention and approval. Thus, we are witnessing a need to explore alternative methods to promote development and combat climate change in both developed and developing nations.
In his presentation, Nobel Laureate Dr. Tom Schelling will explore how countries can approach the inter-related issues of climate change, development and the production of energy. Professor Schelling will provide a road map for cooperation between developed and developing nations to help them reduce carbon emissions and allow countries to meet their energy and development goals while helping themselves, and the world, on the climate-change front.
Professor Thomas Schelling is an American economist and professor of foreign affairs, national security, nuclear strategy, and arms control at the School of Public Policy at University of Maryland, College Park. He is also co-faculty at the New England Complex Systems Institute. He was awarded the 2005 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (shared with Robert Aumann) for "having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis."
This is a free event but reservations are required. Please RSVP hereby Sunday, April 18, 2010.
