Global climate policy experts emphasized the importance of providing incentives, balancing interests and creating sustainable initiatives to bridge the gap between climate policy and implementation Friday during a panel at the Climate Policy Lab Symposium at Tufts University’s Fletcher School. The panelists presented to a crowd of about 100, sharing the methods being taken to address climate policy and their successes and challenges. “You probably need to update [climate policy plans] quite frequently to catch up with the various sorts of innovations taking place,” Mulaisi said. Panelists emphasized benefits of climate policy in other sectors — like community and economic development — as ways to push people toward renewable energy. Prior to the “From Policy Design to Action” panel, two other panels and two speakers discussed implementation gaps, green industrialization and health risks related to climate change.
