How Can We Make Energy, Environment and Development Work for Everyone

In the months following the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, the idea that climate change has an impact on economics and development has been gaining increased attention and approval. Thus, we are witnessing a need to explore alternative methods to promote development and combat climate change in both developed and developing nations.

In his presentation, Nobel Laureate Dr. Tom Schelling will explore how countries can approach the inter-related issues of climate change, development and the production of energy. Professor Schelling will provide a road map for cooperation between developed and developing nations to help them reduce carbon emissions and allow countries to meet their energy and development goals while helping themselves, and the world, on the climate-change front.
