- Event Description
-
This conference aims to explore U.S. and European policy responses to climate change and to analyze how future international policies may evolve. A clearer U.S. commitment to a carbon cap-and-trade system may influence the nature of the trans-Atlantic dialogue on climate policy. The evolution of a concrete and specific domestic agenda on climate change inside the United States could change the context of U.S.-European dialogue on this subject, though it is unclear whether this shift will render global policy easier or harder to harmonize.
Our conference is designed to facilitate a positive exchange of ideas with our trans-Atlantic allies on this challenging area of public policy. This event is a continuation of the discussions from the February 2008 conference, Beyond Science: The Economics and Politics of Responding to Climate Change.
