BOONE—Topics from environmental ethics to religion and nature will be featured during the 2010 Business and Environmental Ethics Conference Sept. 17 at Appalachian State University. Other topics include environmental economics, strategy and nature, and university sustainability.
...After a short coffee break at 10:15 a.m., the panel discussions resume at 10:30 a.m. with the topic “Environmental Economics.” Panelists are John Whitehead and Dave McEvoy from the Department of Economics, and John Pine, director of Appalachian’s Research Institute for Environment, Energy and Economics. They will address the future costs of climate change, and the need to change our systems and make different choices related to the environment and business.
I'll be talking about including passive use values in benefit-cost analysis.
