Undergraduate Pre-Colloquium:
Game Theory and Climate Change Negotiations
Thursday, March 4, at 2:20 p.m. in SAS 4201

NC State
The governments of the world agree that humans are causing changes to the earth's climate that will lead to enormous problems for civilization, but they are unable to agree to do anything about it. Can game theory illuminate why climate change negotiations are so difficult? Participants will play a series of simple games that illustrate some of the problems.
This event will be followed by tea in the Mathematics Commons at 3:30 and then by Chris Jones's colloquium talk about climate change at 4 p.m. in SAS 1102.
