When: March 12, 2008 6:30pm (please arrive by 5:30)
Where: Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca Street)
Description:
How useful is ecological economics in the real world? Dr. Cutler Cleveland, director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies at Boston University, will illustrate the key concepts of ecological economics as applied to energy economics. A particularly timely issue since energy is one of the most pressing issues in our society, energy economics is expected to grow more important every year due to increasing scarcity of fossil fuels and the connection to global warming. Dr. Cleveland will elucidate many of the transdisciplinary aspects of energy and energy's central role in society. Within the framework of ecological economics, he will talk broadly about the relationship between the environment and society, including energy sources, distribution and taxation.
