Are Federal Institutions Up to the Challenges of Climate Change? 12/12/08 - Climate change was first discussed by an American President in the 1960s, and a decade later it became the subject of Congressional hearings.

This session will consider the capacity of the three branches of the federal government to address climate change and respond to likely policy challenges. Jonathan Cannon, from U.Va.'s School of Law, chairs. The speakers are Kirsten Engel, Barry Rabe, Walter Rosenbaum and Susan Gander. |

Reconnecting the United States with the World 12/12/08 - Any unilateral American efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions face inherent limits in deterring climate change, raising the question of multi-national or international collaboration. State experience suggests ever-expanding commitment to policy experimentation, while also anticipating the expansion of federal involvement. This session will draw lessons from outside the U.S., most notably from the European Union, and consider the prospects for regional and international re-engagement in a post-Kyoto world. Daniel Plafcan chairs and speakers include Stacy VanDeveer, Henrik Selin, Kathryn Harrison and Alastair Totty. |

The Climate of Opinion: American Beliefs about Climate Change and Policy Preferences 12/11/08 - Climate change has conventionally been portrayed as a global challenge necessitating an international governing regime. This was clearly the animating principle behind the Kyoto Protocol more than a decade ago. But the subsequent reality in the United States and abroad has been far more complex, with an unexpectedly large role for sub-national units of governments, such as American states and localities. Here Sidney Milkis chairs the session as part of the Miller Center's National Conference on Climate Governance. The other speakers include Martha Derthick, Paul Posner, Christopher Borick, Anne Khademian and Suellen Keiner. |
