A Workshop Announcement and Agenda NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WORKSHOP ON MODELING THE ECONOMICS OF GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION April 15-16, 2010 Washington, DC On behalf of the National Academies’ Board on Energy and Environmental Systems and the planning committee for the Workshop on Modeling the Economics of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation, we would like to invite you to our workshop scheduled for April 15-16, 2010, at the NAS Auditorium (2100 C Street NW) in Washington, D.C. Our goal is to stimulate a dialogue about the relative strengths and weaknesses of models used to assess the economic impacts of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This workshop will be comprised of four major sessions taking place over the 2 days. These sessions and their times are listed below. Thursday, April 15 at 9:45 am Uses and Abuses of Marginal Abatement Supply Curves Thursday, April 15 at 1:30 pm Uses and Abuses of Learning/Experience/Knowledge Curves Friday, April 16 at 8:30 am Offsets—What’s Assumed, What is Known/Not Known, What Difference They Make Friday, April 16 at 1:30 pm Storylines, Scenarios, and the Limits of Long-Term Socio-Techno-Economic Forecasting This workshop is open to the public in its entirety, so RSVP is not necessary.
