EVENT ALERT 2
Washington College of Law: What are the options for 2°C?
OCTOBER 22, 2015 || 3:30pm-5:00pm
Even if the upcoming historic Paris climate conference is a great success, President Obama noted recently that "it's still going to fall short of what the science requires." This Global Climate Change Week panel discussion will explore, compare, and debate the full range of policy and technology options available to help keep the 2°C threshold. The event will include a panel of Simon Nicholson (Forum For Climate Engineering Assessment), Noah Deich (Center for Carbon Removal), and Bill Snape (Center for Biological Diversity), and will be moderated by Professor David Hunter (Washington College of Law).
