The Economics of Climate Change 
An International Conference at The New School, April 9-10
We may already be past the tipping point on climate change. Where do we
go after Copenhagen's failure?
 
For two days, U.S. and international academics, government officials,
and policy analysts will join to study the economic issues associated
with carbon emission, climate change, and emission regulation. The
conference will offer important lessons on how to enact effective
climate change policy in light of the United States’ fragile economy
and the post-Copenhagen tensions between developed and developing
countries.  

The program includes keynote speeches by Hirofumi Uzawa of Tokyo
University and Ernst Ulrich von Weizacker, former chairman of the German
Parliament’s Environmental Committee. Participants include
representatives from the European Commission and the Obama
Administration; Tariq Banuri, director of the United Nations Division
for Sustainable Development and member of the Nobel Prize-winning
Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); Alfred Greiner of the
University of Bielefeld; Geoffrey Heal of Columbia University; and Franz
Wirl of the University of Vienna. New School faculty includes Lopamudra
Banerjee, Edward Nell and Willi Semmler from The New School for Social
Research and Michael Cohen of the Graduate Program of International
Affairs.
