Towards 2020: A New Chapter in Europe's Climate Change Policy | The New School for Social Research


2013/04/08 に公開
While the European community has worked to find a path towards economic stability and growth, the continent's financial crises have also served as a distraction from needed climate and energy policies. On January 1, 2013, the European Union (EU) stepped forward to lead the movement for needed adaptation policies, including carbon pricing and renewables, by adopting its "20-20-20" package. The new program sets European-wide targets for 2020, includes environmental targets more ambitious than the Kyoto Protocol, and impacts sectors falling under both the EU emissions trading system and renewable energy.

The New School for Social Research based in New York City, offers master's and doctoral programs in anthropology, economics, philosophy, politics, psychology, and sociology; interdisciplinary master's programs in historical studies and liberal studies.

On April 3, 2013, the EU's Director of the European Commission's Climate Action Directorate, Artur Runge-Metzger, will discuss the newly adopted program as part of SCEPA's lecture series on the Economics of Climate Change. Within the EU, the Commission leads the effort to meet its 2020 targets, is responsible for international negotiations on climate, and implements the EU Emissions Trading System.
