The University of Tasmania and the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Center hosted the Embassy’s Economic Officer David Atkinson to discuss U.S. climate change policy. Drawing on talking points provided by S/SECC Todd Stern’s office, he laid out the broad strokes of U.S. climate goals and domestic action to the audience of ten academics and researchers headed by Marcus Haward, Program Leader for Policy at the ACECRC. The group asked questions about U.S climate legislation, renewable energy efforts, and the role of Antarctic science in developing climate policies.
