[SPN-Discussion] April 2 Science and Decision-Making Panel at Columbia (LIVESTREAMING)

[Hayley Martinez]

Columbia's Earth Institute invites you to a panel discussion, Speaking Science to Power: The Importance of Facts in Decision-Making, on Monday, April 2, 6:00pm - 7:00pm ET. The panel will be followed by a networking reception with beer and wine.

Connecting science to decision-making is critically important, particularly when it comes to sustainability, which affects our health and the natural systems we depend on. But how is science integrated into the decision-making process? What types and levels of analyses are needed to guide sustainability policies and programs? How can we enhance our application of science into ongoing management? Moderated by the Earth Institute's executive director Steve Cohen, this panel will explore the role that scientific research plays in decision-making in both the public and private sectors.

Featuring:

  *   Thomas Jorling, former Commissioner of the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation and former Vice President for Environmental Affairs, International Paper Co.
  *   Sara Law, Vice President of Global Initiatives, Carbon Disclosure Project
  *   Art Lerner-Lam, Deputy Director, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, The Earth Institute
  *   Richard Moss, former Chairman of the Federal Advisory Committee for the National Climate Assessment and Visiting Senior Research Scientist, Columbia University
