Ashok Kotwal Memorial Lecture: Rohini Pande on 'Regulating Carbon Emissions through Nature-based Solutions'

We invite you to join us on 11 December 2024, for the third annual Ashok Kotwal Memorial Lecture. This year, the lecture will be delivered by Professor Rohini Pande, who will draw on insights gained from the design of pollution compliance markets and environmental audits in India, to discuss how they can provide guidance on how to redesign the voluntary carbon market so that lower income countries can access international climate funds through nature-based activities.

Rohini Pande is the Henry J. Heinz II Professor of Economics and Director of the Economic Growth Center at Yale University. She is also the faculty director of Inclusion Economics at Yale. Her research, which has influenced policy in South Asia and globally, focuses on how institutions shape power relationships and patterns of economic, political, and environmental advantage in low-income countries.

The annual memorial lecture on key issues of development economics has been instituted in memory of our founding Editor-in-Chief, the late Professor Ashok Kotwal.

This is a hybrid event – click here to register to join us in-person at the Indian Insitute of Technology, New Delhi or virtually over Zoom.
