[Snip] Questioning Cap and Trade Some environmental groups and academics have never reconciled themselves to the idea of a market in pollution rights, and Europe’s problems have heightened their doubts. So far, they point out, global emissions are still rising. “I would throw the markets out and start over with something different,” said Doreen Stabinsky, a professor of global environmental politics at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Me. “I think we can’t be sidetracked by playing around with a market, because this objective is so important, so pressing and so difficult.” [Snip] ========= http://www.coa.edu/faculty_36.htm Doreen Stabinsky Dr. Doreen Stabinsky is Professor of Global Environmental Politics, joining the faculty in 2001. She actively researches and writes about the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security, and on the emerging issue of loss and damage from slow onset impacts of climate change. She also serves as advisor to a number of governments and international NGOs on issues related to agriculture and loss and damage in ongoing negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Some of her recent publications include “Agriculture and climate change – state of play in the UNFCCC negotiations” and “Ecological agriculture, climate resilience, and a roadmap to get there,” co-authored by Lim Li Ching, both published by the Third World Network, and the report “Tackling the limits to adaptation: an international framework to address ‘loss and damage’ from climate change impacts,” published by ActionAid, CARE International, and WWF. Doreen also closely follows international negotiations on biosafety and is a current member of the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Risk Assessment and Risk Management under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
