Desautels MD-MBA student wins 2011 Schlamadinger Prize
Desautels MD-MBA student, Jordan Isenberg, and Catherine Potvin have won the 2011 Schlamadinger Prize in climate change: forestry, land use and bioenergy, for their paper entitled, 'Financing REDD in developing countries: a supply and demand analysis.'
The panel of judges commented that this paper is particularly valuable because it articulates how fund and market based systems for REDD could co-exist, not just within the context of a transition strategy, but as different mitigation approaches for developed and developing countries. The paper provides out-of-the-box thinking and analogies for REDD financing, for example, looking at the role of ODA funding and public policy in the expansion of funding in the global health sector and how it might inform REDD financing.
The was created in memory of Dr. Bernhard Schlamadinger. On behalf of the sponsoring organisations, Climate Policy has created an annual prize for the best paper in the specified fields published in this journal.
