Environmental Norms, Institutions, and Policy
About the Workshop
This workshop examines key issues of environmental ethics and policy, including equity (its meaning and measurement), the role of institutions in meeting environmental challenges, and the design of policies aimed at sustainable management of natural resources.
The group examines questions such as: How is the cost of global climate change calculated and distributed? Who will bear the greatest burden of rising sea level? How do we calculate the economic costs and who (internationally and nationally) should pay for mitigation and adaptation? What do we do when equity conflicts with environmental goals?
Meeting Schedule
Geballe Research Workshops
The Theodore and Frances Geballe Research Workshops bring together faculty and graduate students to explore new areas of inquiry, sparking innovation in a broad spectrum of established and emerging disciplines. Workshops meet frequently during the year, and help graduate students develop the skills needed to transition from their role as students to that of professional scholars interacting with a community of peers.
