Prof Andrew Light, Center for American Progress and George Mason University |
International Climate Diplomacy at a Crossroads: The Road to 2020.1-2pm. Room 2063, Valley Life Science Building. Building.From afar it often looks like little progress is made in the annual United Nations climate negotiations held under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In fact, the last four years have seen a dramatic change in the way this body has moved forward to articulate a more inclusive and robust pathway for global greenhouse gas emission reductions than had been achieved previously through instruments like the Kyoto Protocol. This presentation reviews this recent history from the Copenhagen summit in 2009 to the last round of climate talks in Doha this past December. |

Dr. Jane Lubchenco, National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration |
Society's wicked problems, ecological approaches, and scientists' social contractDuring the past four years, considerable progress has been made in translating ecological knowledge into federal policies. The talk will highlight the ways that science has shaped policies and management concerning climate, oceans and coasts, and how that science is made available to and used by decision makers and the public. The presentation will invite discussion of the key roles of the academic community in discovering and sharing the knowledge most needed by society to tackle wicked environmental problems. |
