Eyal Frank is one of the SIPA PhD alumni who presented at the inaugural CEEP conference. What do bat populations, tropical fisheries, and environmental justice have in common? Each was the subject of a research project showcased at the inaugural conference of SIPA’s Center for Environmental Economics and Policy (CEEP). And each helps illustrate a crucial issue related to environmental change and sustainability-minded policy.
Eyal Frank是SIPA博士毕业生之一,他出席了CEEP首届会议。蝙蝠种群、热带渔业和环境正义有什么共同点?每一项都是SIPA环境经济与政策中心(CEEP)成立大会上展示的一个研究项目的主题。每一个都有助于说明一个与环境变化和可持续发展政策有关的关键问题。
CEEP was established earlier this year to undertake original research into the causes of environmental change, the consequences of this change for humanity, and the policies that can prevent and, where possible, reverse harmful environmental change to ensure sustainable development. CEEP furthermore aims to share this knowledge with policymakers, fellow researchers, students, and concerned citizens worldwide. The Center’s research is defined in part by the integration of analytic approaches from economics with the natural sciences and engineering.
CEEP成立于今年早些时候,旨在对环境变化的原因、这种变化对人类的影响以及能够防止和在可能的情况下扭转有害环境变化以确保可持续发展的政策进行初步研究。此外,CEEP的目标是与世界各地的政策制定者、研究员、学生和相关公民分享这些知识。该中心的研究在一定程度上是通过将经济学的分析方法与自然科学和工程相结合来定义的。
