SUMMARY:CPPF Meeting on Energy Transition Risks and Opportunities in the MENA Region
DESCRIPTION:On 18 May 2023 CPPF convened a meeting on energy transition risks and opportunities in the MENA region at the request of the UN Northern Africa Division of DPPA. The meeting aimed to inform the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on climate\, peace\, and security in the MENA region and considered the implications of the accelerating energy transitions on the MENA region.

SUMMARY:Is Behavior The Solution Agenda
DESCRIPTION:About\nRecent investments in clean energy R&D have led to remarkable innovations in clean energy technology. These innovations hold the promise of slowing and perhaps even reversing decades of anthropogenic climate change. \nBut in order to fully realize the promise of clean energy innovation\, we also need policy innovation: social and behavioral science R&D aimed at finding interventions\, programs\, and policies that effectively mobilize decision makers to act in climate-protective ways. \nJoin us for an important conversation with leading social and behavioral scientists and climate thought leaders to discuss: \n\nwhat we know about potentially scalable interventions to increase climate-protective behaviors;\nthe potential return on investment from expanding this knowledge base;\nhow we might better connect social and behavioral scientists with climate policy makers.\n\nThe half-day event will take place Friday\, June 9\, 2023 from 9am to 2pm ET at The Rockefeller Foundation’s Global Headquarters\, 420 5th Avenue\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Encouraging Technology Adoption in Agrarian Societies
DESCRIPTION:About the Lecture\nSolutions to many of today’s key development challenges hinge not on creating new technologies and solutions\, but in understanding why the poor do not adopt seemingly beneficial technologies that already exist. Throughout the developing world\, there are countless examples of technologies that appear to be welfare enhancing but are adopted by the poor at very low rates. Examples span health\, finance\, and agriculture sectors\, and include cleaner cook-stoves\, anti-malarial bednets\, toilets\, fertilizer\, weather insurance\, and improved seed varieties. To make progress on these problems\, we need to understand the sources of behavioral or structural barriers to new technology adoption\, in order to devise policies and marketing strategies to address those barriers. This talk will highlight economic analysis and randomized-controlled-trial based field experimental methods applied in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa to make progress on these questions. \n\nEvent Recording\n \nAbout Mushfiq Mobarak\nMushfiq Mobarak is the Jerome Kasoff ’54 Professor of Management and Economics at Yale University with concurrent appointments in the School of Management and in the Department of Economics. Mobarak is the founder and faculty director of the Yale Research Initiative on Innovation and Scale (Y-RISE).
