Event
description: A rare opportunity
to hear and meet this distinguished natural resource economist
and global science diplomat who leads the world's scientific
community in addressing climate change. During this talk,
the scientific assessment of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be interpreted
in the context of larger human development strategies
and behavioral implications. In particular, the implications
for equity across the world, sustainable development,
and the reduction of poverty will be explored as they
relate to projected influences of climate change. The
inertia of the global climate system would require large-scale
adaptive measures, and it is essential to mount major
mitigation activities with a sense of urgency. . |
