 <br>
-Why the climate is changing: the mechanics of global warming. Evidence from the past and recent projections: temperature, sea level rise, precipitation. Tipping points. Impacts for developed and developing countries. The link between energy and food prices.
+'''''[[The Economics of Atmospheric Stabilization]]'''''
-'''''The Economics of Atmospheric Stabilization'''''
 <br>
-Greenhouse gas emissions: where are we currently, we are we heading, where should we be heading to avoid dangerous climate change? Fossil fuel resources, reserves, and the coal renaissance. The scale of the challenge: emission trajectories to avoid dangerous climate change, maybe. Energy system modeling: finding the right wedges. The role of biomass. Hybrid modeling. Mitigation costs: model comparison IMCP shows it does not cost the world to save the planet.
+'''''[[Towards a Global Contract on Climate Change]]'''''
-'''''Towards a Global Contract on Climate Change'''''
 <br>
-Regional mitigation costs – results from two recent model comparison exercises. International burden sharing: the role of the quota allocation rule and of tradable fossil fuel resources. The costs of delay and the gains of fast-movers. International climate policy: the Kyoto Protocol and the road to Copenhagen. The pillars of a global contract: carbon markets, technology, adaptation, reduced deforestation.

-Although most national leaders profess a concern about climate change and a desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere keep going up. And they are going up in almost every nation, irrespective of whether it signed the Kyoto Accord. To explain this unfortunate fact,  this session will describe four common misconceptions about climate change dynamics that are preventing effective response to the threats of climate change.

-'''''Fishbanks: A Strategic Game about Renewable Resource Use'''''
+===[[Jim Giles]]===
-<br>
-In this session participants will work in small teams to manage fishing companies that decide on ways to deploy and build up their assets. The challenge is to develop strategies that sustain the resource while maximizing profits of the individual firms.
+===[[Mark Hertsgaard]]===
+===[[Julie Rehmeyer]]===
-'''''The Structural Foundations of Sustainable Resource Use'''''
+===[[Andrew Revkin]]===
-<br>
-The concept of sustainability is profoundly different depending on whether it is applied to a renewable or to a nonrenewable resource. We will discuss those differences. This session will identify, reflect on, and apply the lessons from the Fishbanks session. It will also provide information on oil depletion, as an important example of nonrenewable resource use.
