The UW Center for Environmental Politics’ Duck Family Colloquium Series welcomes David Victor, Professor of Innovation and Public Policy at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California, San Diego. Professor Victor will be presenting a talk titled, “ Cities are pledging to confront climate change, but are their actions working?” on Tuesday, November 17th from 12:00 to 1:30 over Zoom.
David Victor is a professor of innovation and public policy at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego where he co-directs the Laboratory on International Law and Regulation and the Deep Decarbonization Initiative. His research focuses on regulated industries, how regulation affects the operation of major energy markets, and, as the author of “Global Warming Gridlock,” he examines why the world hasn’t made much diplomatic progress on the problem of climate change while exploring new, more effective strategies. He was a convening lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, and acts as a Co-Chair of The Brookings Institution Initiative on Energy and Climate. He is also a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Energy, the Council on Foreign Relations, and was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
