ENVS Colloquium Series 2009

Restoring the Earth: no easy answers

one scientist
one humanist
one policy expert

one topic...

not your ordinary talk.

Sponsored by the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research

Energy and Climate Challenge Series

 

Environmental problems are interdisciplinary by nature. They jump fences. They cross boundaries. They don’t respect borders. So what does happen when you mix three scholars from different backgrounds and ask them to comment on one topic? Join us and see. Refreshments starting at 3 pm.
