It is my pleasure to let you know about two upcoming presentations in the Institute for Economics and the Environment Environment, Economics and You Speaker Series.
Both presenters are distinguished researchers, who look at climate change through interdisciplinary lenses. Professor Richard Norgaard (University of California, Berkeley) will join us on Wednesday February 1, 2017. He is one of the founders of ecological economics and recently has focused on the intersection of religion, economics and climate change.
On Wednesday February 8th, IEE welcomes Professor Riley Dunlap (Oklahoma State) to our Speaker Series. Professor Dunlap’s research and writing focus on climate change denial, public opinions and the growing political polarization around climate change. Very timely indeed as we begin 2017!
