WHAT: The Brookings Mountain West Initiative at UNLV welcomes Adele Morris, Brookings Institution fellow and director for climate change and energy economics, for "Climate Change and Real Estate: How Environmental Risks and Policies Impact Markets"
WHEN: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
WHERE: Greenspun Hall Auditorium at UNLV
Free and open to the public
DETAILS: Climate change could worsen environmental conditions that affect real estate values, such as extreme weather events and coastal erosion. Policies to prevent climate change can also affect real estate values through higher energy prices and land use regulation. Morris will address these issues from both a national and regional perspective.
The Brookings Scholars program - a product of the new Brookings Mountain West Initiative - welcomes leading experts from the Brookings Institution to UNLV each month to lend insight on key regional issues through interaction with campus and community leaders, collaborative research and a free public lecture held in conjunction with each scholar's visit to campus.
