Climate: Think tank outlines policy that can benefit low-income families, federal budget

How will a cap-and-trade policy affect low income families? What will it mean for the federal budget? For the October 18, 2007 Energy & Environment TV (E&ETV) Event Coverage, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities presents a report on the importance of fiscal responsibility when creating a climate policy and the effect it could have on the poor. Panelists include, Robert Greenstein, founder and executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; David Doniger, policy director of the Natural Resources Defense Council Climate Center; Chad Stone, chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; and Martha Coven, senior legislative associate at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Environmental Valuation & Cost-Benefit News

Environmental Valuation & Cost Benefit News covers legal, academic, and regulatory developments pertaining to the valuation of environmental amenities and disamenities, such as clean air, trees, parks, congestion, and noise. We apprise the reader about ways in which costs and benefits are measured, and the results of empirical studies. We hope that this information will allow public and private organizations to comprehend the risks and benefits of various actions, help disputants to resolve conflicts equitably and efficiently, and improve the quality of public policies. We will only discuss issues related to the empirical quantification of private and social costs and benefits and damages, and summarize information from daily newspapers, academic journals, legal publications, court decisions, professional newsletters commissioned studies, and on-line services. This newsletter is dedicated to the principal that all policies place values upon life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that more information, explicit specification of assumptions, and rigorous analysis can help our society to better meet these ends. This site will increasingly serve, in conjunction with others, as a valuation database. We will include a wide range of studies, including non-environmental reports, because omission of a factor effectively values it at zero, and biases decisions. Heavy traffic has caused several site crashes. We are attempting to correct these problems. Apologies for any inconvenience.
