The Economics of Coastal Climate Change

The Economics of Coastal Climate Change

A new special edition of the Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics is now available:  Volume 3, Issue 2—The Economics of Coastal Climate Change Adaptation.  This edition addresses the economic issues involved in the planning and implementation of strategies to adapt to climate change effects in coastal regions, with particular focus on sea level rise.  This is a field which has received very little attention in the general economic discussion of climate change and we hope this special edition will catalyze a broad range of new research and policy discussions.

Creating a Safe and Secure Energy Future for Generations to Come- Driving Toward Long-Term Storage and Disposal Now Westin | Charlotte, NC | April 9-13, 2017

Plan to Attend. Share your Knowledge. Make an Impact.   Used fuel and high-level waste long-term storage and/or disposal is an immediate, world-wide need requiring consent-based processes. Transferring information and knowledge to the generations inheriting this responsibility is the focus of IHLRW's international forum.   Success requires active participation from industry, government, academia, policy-makers, and the interested public. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in information sharing as are graduating engineers and scientists, all of whom will be tasked with working toward realistic storage and disposal options that benefit their generation.   Learn more and register now.

Trump's plans for European missile defense a mystery   Rachel Oswald Donald Trump’s presidential election victory raises many international security questions, including the future of a US ballistic missile shield in Europe, an effort long opposed by someone with whom Trump wishes to build a new relationship—Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rachel Oswald's reporting on this project was supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.   Kashmir, climate change, and nuclear war   Zia Mian A new source of conflict between Pakistan and India has emerged, centered on Kashmir. It is a struggle over access to water.   The fate of nuclear power in Vietnam   Viet Phuong Nguyen It’s still unclear whether Vietnam will be part of the “nuclear renaissance,” but with dedicated efforts and support from abroad, its nuclear achievements to date can at least be preserved in a safe and productive way. It's more important than ever to stay up on the Nuclear Roundup Sign up to receive Jodi Lieberman's Nuclear Roundup. Discover why so many readers find this daily summary of nuclear-related news simply indispensable.   Who would destroy the world?   Phil Torres   Consider a seemingly simple question: If the means were available, who exactly would destroy the world?     Distinguishing fact from falsehood in a post-truth world   John Cook   During the 2016 election’s latter weeks, fake news was shared more on Facebook than real news.     China and disarmament: Three questions going forward   Hua Han   How vigorously China pursues its existing disarmament commitments, and whether it takes a leadership role in disarmament, depend on the answers to three questions. Round three of our debate on China's role in the nuclear order opens.     What We're Reading   Dan Drollette Jr., Lucien Crowder   This week we look at an article by Science and Security Board member David Titley, who is concerned about reports that a senior Trump advisor, former Pennsylvania Rep. Bob Walker, has called for ending NASA earth science research, a proposal that has alarmed the climate research community. Also, a recent roof collapse at the Energy Department's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), raises new safety questions.     Give yourself or a friend or loved one a truly intelligent gift this holiday season.
