Presented By: Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)
Energy, climate change, and the 2016 elections
Panel Presentation
Free and open to the public - (pizza/drinks available at 3:45pm)
About the panel:
The 2016 general election will have enormous implications for energy and climate policy in the United States. While much attention has been paid to the positions of presidential candidates, congressional and state elections will also have major implications for how federal and state governments address a variety of crucial issues such as implementing greenhouse gas reduction policies, regulating fracking, managing the growth of renewable energy, and much more.
Experts Mark Barteau (University of Michigan Energy Institute), Katie O'Connell (Michigan Conservative Energy Forum), Barry Rabe (Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy), Daniel Raimi (Resources for the Future, Ford School) and Lisa Wozniak (Michigan League of Conservation Voters) will discuss which elections they’re most closely watching, and what different results might mean for energy and climate policy in Michigan, Washington, and beyond.
Please join us from 4:00 to 5:30 PM at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, Annenberg Classroom 1120, Weill Hall: 735 S. State Street, Ann Arbor. Pizza and drinks will be available at 3:45pm.
Sponsored by the University of Michigan Energy Institute and the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP).
Co-sponsored by Michigan's Graham Sustainability Institute and the Program in the Environment.
