Discussion Paper
By Karen Filipovich, Former Associate Research Director and Former Research Fellow, Environment and Natural Resources Program, 1999-2002 and Noune Sekhpossian, Former Research Fellow, Environment and Natural Resources Program

In a world constrained by the threat of climate change, this capacity could be enormously valuable.
