DESCRIPTION:We are seeing unprecedented environmental disruption as we grap
 ple with anthropogenic impacts – climate change\, plastic pollution impa
 cts\, health impacts from chemical exposures\, and even fracking-induced e
 arthquakes. Although businesses and regulators are trying to respond\, the
 y do not appear to be changing with the same rapidity as environmental cha
 nges. How can market and regulatory drivers complement each other to yield
  solutions commensurate with our environmental challenges? What are the op
 portunities to more fully leverage the available drivers and what are the 
 limitations? Movement toward a carbon-neutral\, circular economy can only 
 be accomplished when private sector and governmental actions build on one 
 other. This talk will discuss obstacles and opportunities to address human
  impacts on the environment.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Meredith Williams\, \n\nVi
