SUMMARY:Book Talk: Alon Tal
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation and discussion led by Alon Tal to celebrate the launch of his new book\, Making Climate Tech Work–Policies that Drive Innovation. \nIn Making Climate Tech Work\, environmental policy expert Alon Tal demystifies climate innovation programs around the world—no policy background needed. \nBeginning with a review of government’s general role in technology policy development\, Tal assesses each policy alternative\, describing eye-opening experiments in diverse countries\, presenting a range of case studies\, interviewing leading decarbonization experts\, and interpreting new empirical data. Discover how Germany incentivized renewables; Denmark became a wind energy superpower; Australia phased out incandescent bulbs; California’s prisons pioneered low-carbon menus; and why carbon taxes have failed around the world—but could be designed for success. \nHumanity is ultimately in a race against time and effective climate policies are critical to ensure a sustainable future. Making Climate Tech Work serves as an essential primer for policymakers\, academics\, activists\, and anyone interested in climate solutions. \nAbout the speaker: Alon Tal is a visiting professor at Stanford University’s School of Sustainability and Michigan State’s James Madison College. He has written 11 books and written over 120 peer reviewed articles about the environment\, natural resource management and climate policy. In the past he was a parliamentarian\, serving as chair of the Knesset’s first “Climate and Environment” subcommittee. \nPlease Note: Attendance is restricted to Taubman College students\, faculty\, and staff.
