Employment and Environment 
Nicholas Ashford, Professor of Technology and Policy

Tuesday, Jan. 30th
Noon - 1:30 pm

Approaches for encouraging sustainable industrial transformations 
must be focused simultaneously on co-optimizing improvements in 
competitiveness, environment, and employment in an integrated manner. 
This seminar will address mechanisms to accomplish this including 
government regulation and private sector incentives that open the 
policy agenda beyond strictly environmental concerns.
