About the November 13, 2024 webinar:
Motivating Ethical Behavior: What Climate Policy Can Learn from Religion Presentation Overview: Religion is in part a system for motivating ethical behavior, often across national borders and cultures. Much of climate policy is founded on a plea for an ethical response to the existential threat to future generations, which to be successful must also motivate ethical behavior across national borders and cultures. For those engaged in the development of climate policy, religion may offer some insight into effective and ineffective strategies for motivating ethical responses to this global threat. About the November 13 presenter: Doug McWilliams is a musician and activist, husband, father, and grandfather, who has spent the middle third of his life as an environmental lawyer in private practice at Squire Patton Boggs, an international law firm. He was educated formally at Oberlin College and the UC Berkeley School of Law, and less formally by the diverse array of individuals engaged walking across the United States and walking through Russia to promote global nuclear disarmament. His legal career focuses on creative conflict resolution applied to environmental law and policy. In recent years, Doug examines and defines international best practices for the legal protection of sensitive ecosystems around the world. As he enters the 3rd third of his life, Doug seeks to synthesize his varied experiences to further discussions on global environmental issues, developing policies to promote “good” behavior from individuals, companies, and nation states. |
