Larry Lohman, The Corner House - Carbon Offsets: Economic fantasy, climate reality. Lunch is provided if you register in advance. In the U.S., many people and firms voluntarily purchase carbon credits to offset carbon emissions associated with their activities. In mandatory emissions trading schemes adopted in Europe and proposed in the U.S. firms can substitute similar offset credits for some of their compliance obligation. These credits reflect claims that projects have been carried out that reduce or greenhouse gas emissions or sequester greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere.These projects, however, sometimes raise important social justice, environmental, and economic issues. Larry will address many of these issues in his talk. |

This talk will focus on why there are different kinds of Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKCs). It will discuss the possibility of a better trajectory of EKC in different economic periods. China’s intensified efforts to reduce the pace of the polluting emissions in recent years both nationally and locally, leads to the expectation of better EKCs |
