Game Theory and Climate Change Workshop
Climate change is a pressing concern for all informed citizens. Despite decades of publicity and negotiation, and increasingly dramatic warnings, the treaties and strategies for mitigation so far implemented appear to be having little or no effect on global emissions. This meeting will bring together mathematicians and others interested in modelling the very complex problems underlying mitigation strategies.
