Considering Risk and Uncertainty in Designing Climate Policy
Mort Webster
Visiting Assistant Professor, Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric, &  
Planetary Sciences

Tuesday Jan. 8th
Noon–1:30 pm
E51-149
A public policy response to the threat of global climate change  
requires explicit consideration of the scientific, technological and  
economic uncertainties. In this talk, Prof. Webster will show how  
formal modeling of the economic and earth systems and their  
uncertainties can inform how we design our policy solutions to be  
robust and to manage risks.



Bring brown bag lunch; light refreshments provided.
