Uncertainty, Technical Change, And Policy Models, Erin Baker, Leon Clarke, Jeffrey Keisler, Ekundayo Shittu
Jeffrey Keisler
Both climate change and technical change are uncertain. In this paper we show the importance of including both uncertainties when modeling for policy analysis. We then develop an approach for incorporating uncertainty of technical change into climate change policy analysis. We define and demonstrate a protocol for bottom-up expert assessments about prospects for technologies. We then describe a method for using such assessments to derive a probability distribution over future abatement curves, and to estimate random return functions for technological investment in different areas. Finally, we show how these analytic results could be used in a variety of energy-economic models …
Global Law And The Environment, Robert V. Percival
Global Law And The Environment, Robert V. Percival
Robert Percival
This article explores three areas in which globalization is profoundly affecting the development of a global environmental law. First, countries increasingly are borrowing law and regulatory innovations from one another to respond to common environmental problems. Although this is not an entirely new phenomenon, it is occurring at an unprecedented pace. Second, lawsuits seeking to hold companies liable for environmental harm they have caused outside their home countries are raising new questions concerning the appropriate venue for such transnational liability litigation and the standards courts should apply for enforcement of foreign judgments. Third, nongovernmental organizations are playing an increasingly important …
China's "Green Leap Forward" Toward Global Environmental Leadership, Robert V. Percival
China's "Green Leap Forward" Toward Global Environmental Leadership, Robert V. Percival
Robert Percival
This article argues that China may be on the verge of a “Green Leap Forward” that could make it a global environmental leader. This article argues that two principal forces have contributed to this development. First, Chinese officials now realize that a global shift away from fossil fuels will create enormous business opportunities on a global scale. Chinese companies are now making enormous strides in the development of green technology, such as solar power, wind energy, and electric cars, with the active assistance of the Chinese government. Second, realizing that climate change severely threatens China, and stung by the criticism …

Federico Del Giorgio Solfa
Las acciones gubernamentales tendientes a satisfacer las distintas demandas científico-técnicas de las pequeñas y medianas industrias (PyMIs), han encontrado en la instalación de los parques científicos y tecnológicos (PCyT), su mejor forma de institucionalización.
Los procesos experimentados, probados y desarrollados, aún siguen persiguiendo como ideal el modelo de Sillicon Valley, que tuvo su clímax en un lugar y tiempo determinado.
En los últimos años, diferentes PCyT en distintas partes del mundo, vienen desarrollándose (o al menos intentándolo), en los más diversos entramados industriales.
Si bien, en la actualidad existen diferentes tipologías de parques: científicos, tecnológicos, de investigación, tecnópolis, tecnopolos, etcétera; …

Adaptive Management Program Poster, Susan Wainscott
Susan Wainscott
Adaptive Management is the use of evidence-based data and best scientific knowledge to improve management and programmatic actions and to reduce the uncertainty inherent in those actions. This approach is the core of the Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), which also includes a strong emphasis on transparency in decision making to increase the accountability of the program.
The MSHCP supports an incidental take permit from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). When reviewing the MSHCP and issuing the incidental take permit, the USFWS required certain tasks be completed on a regular or ongoing basis. The …

Food Access, Availability, And Affordability In 3 Los Angeles Communities, Project Cafe, 2004-2006, Andrea Misako Azuma, Susan Gilliland, Mark Vallianatos, Robert Gottlieb

Introduction Racial/ethnic minority communities are at increasingly high risk for chronic diseases related to obesity. Access to stores that sell affordable, nutritious food is a prerequisite for adopting a healthful diet. The objective of this study was to evaluate food access, availability, and affordability in 3 nonoverlapping but similar low-income communities in urban Los Angeles, California. Methods Using a community-based participatory research approach, we trained community members to conduct a food assessment to 1) map the number and type of retail food outlets in a defined area and 2) survey a sample of stores to determine whether they sold selected …

In preparation for the four-day Second National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit, held in Washington, DC in October 2002, the Environmental Justice Resource Center (EJRC) compiled the Environmental Justice Timeline/Milestones - 1964-2002 report, one of the first comprehensive documents to chronicle accomplishments of the EJ Movement. The milestones were later updated in the 2007 United Church of Christ Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty – 1987-2007 report and more recently in Environmental Health and Racial Equity in the United States: Strategies for Building Environmentally Just, Sustainable, and Livable Communities, a book published this month by the American Public Health …
