"The project will go beyond the traditional academic mission with a substantial outreach effort to make the ideas known in communities across the country," said F&ES Dean Jared Cohon, who will join Law School Dean Anthony Kronman as a speaker at the workshop. Afternoon breakout sessions will focus on 1 . environmental issues and perspectives redefined, 2 . critical sectors for environmental policy, and 3 . the search for new tools and strategies.
Yale professors have played a prominent role in the project, both as leaders and participants. In addition to Dean Cohon, team leaders include John Gordon, former F&ES dean and the Pinchot Professor of Forestry; Carol M. Rose, the Gordon Bradford Tweedy Professor of Law and Organization at the Law School; E. Donald Elliott of the Law School; and Todd Strauss, Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Management Science at the School of Management.
