Dr Kaime awarded an Institute of Advanced Studies grant
Wednesday 16 November 2011
Dr Thoko Kaime was awarded a grant by the Institute of Advanced Studies to host an international interdisciplinary workshop on the regulatory and institutional frameworks for markets for ecosystem services. Jointly convened with Prof Rob Glicksman of The George Washington Law School, the workshop will be held at the School of Law, University of Surrey on 6-7 June 2012. The workshop seeks to contribute to research and learning on the law and policy on ecosystems services by focusing on the regulatory and institutional challenges in creating markets for ecosystems services.
The principal goal is to enable outcome-oriented interaction between experts, innovators, and front-end users of these evolving market models to learn about recent progress, what strategies can be adopted to encourage cross-learning between different models for regulatory and institutional frameworks, and how to design new institutional and regulatory mechanisms that can help preserve ecosystem services. Further information about the workshop is available here.
