Show Notes

Today’s episode is part of our Seminar Series, in which we facilitate discussions on work conducted by teams of academic researchers and practitioners that relates to one of four thematic topics: 1) Crime Reduction & Police Accountability, 2) Climate Change Governance, 3) Displacement, Migration, & Integration, and 4) Democracy, Conflict, & Polarization.

This episode focuses on Climate Change Governance, presenting a conversation between Paul Ferraro (Johns Hopkins) and EGAP member Tara Slough (NYU). Prof. Ferraro's research incorporates insights in the behavioral sciences into the design of interventions and measures program effects on the environment and human welfare. We ask him about four recent experiments that evaluate several climate change adaptation interventions in both Costa Rica and in the United States.
