The goal of the Center for Political Economy’s Political Economy of Climate Lab seminar series is to convene faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students from various disciplines across the university to engage in discussion of emerging concepts and issues within climate change that possess a distinct political economy focus. During the Fall 2024 semester, the seminar series will focus on the political economy of forests.
The Biodiversity Convention aims to protect 30% of the planet's surface by 2030. Should this effort be integrated into climate policy? Are the goals of limiting climate change and conserving biodiversity (including humans) always compatible? Arun Agrwal, Professor Emeritus of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan, will address these questions through a brief talk, followed by a Q&A session and dinner and discussion.
