Speaker: Mort Webster, MIT Visiting Professor. 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. This event is part of the Issues in Technology and Policy IAP seminar series sponsored by the MIT Technology and Policy Program in the Engineering Systems Division.
