Taking on one of the most pressing environmental policy issues of the day, ELI is pleased to introduce its first seminar discussion in a debate format. Loosely following an academic debate structure, two expert teams will argue the resolution, ask questions of the other side, and identify points of agreement and disagreement. Following the debate, the discussion will be opened to audience questions. We hope this format will help to crystallize issues and separate fact from rhetoric.
