Dear colleagues,
Paul Greenberg and Carl Safina have a compelling op-ed in the NYT, “We Don’t Need More Life-Crushing Steel and Concrete: The long-term needs of ecosystems should come before our knee-jerk expectations about infrastructure <https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/opinion/infrastructure-biden-nature.html?fbclid=IwAR3sdOmAFMVPOp5vSgBUfgUBUP2zo4BlQ1O9pU71iEmnSYW3warBXHO5F5Q> .” Is there any scholarship related to this topic? Presumably, those focused on climate change even within Biden’s own government understand the potential harms of an infrastructure program that ignores climate issues, but is there a holistic approach, with the infrastructure people talking to the climate-concerned? And is the conversation informed by good research on what infrastructure *should* be rebuilt to maximize mitigation and adaptation efforts? Does such research exist? Suggestions for specific publications would be most welcome. All the best, Debra ***** Debra Javeline Associate Professor | Department of Political Science | University of Notre Dame | 2060 Jenkins Nanovic Halls | Notre Dame, IN 46556 | tel: 574-631-2793 <(574)%20631-2793> Fellow, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies <http://kroc.nd.edu/> , Kellogg Institute for International Studies <http://nd.edu/~kellogg/>, Nanovic Institute for European Studies <http://nanovic.nd.edu/> Core faculty, Russian and East European Studies Program <http://germanandrussian.nd.edu/russian/faculty/program-faculty/RussianandEastEuropeanStudies.shtml> Affiliated faculty, Notre Dame Environmental Change Initiative <http://environmentalchange.nd.edu/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
