Contact: Jan Wilkerson 202 737-9006 ext. 436	The AMS Policy Program announces the first in a series of workshops on federal climate policy. This workshop will occur on November 13, 2007 in Washington, DC and will focus on greenhouse gas emission fees (often called carbon taxes) as a policy tool for mitigating climate change. The event will bring together a broad group of influential and engaged participants in climate policy discussions, including policy makers, researchers, business leaders, and members of the NGO community. Talks and discussions will: 1) identify the pros and cons of emission fees, 2) explore the design principles that can help make climate policies environmentally effective, economically beneficial, and politically feasible, and 3) clarify remaining needs for moving forward with effective federal climate policies. *Due to limited seating capacity, Participation is by invitation only. If you would like to recommend additional participants or have arrived at this website without an invitation please contact Paul Higgins. Support for this invitation-only forum is made possible by AMS Policy Program underwriters: ITT, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon. The workshop report is now available
