About me
I'm the author of the now widely used concept of Basic Needs in economic development, voted by 153 nations at the 1993 Earth Summit to be the cornerstone of Sustainable Development work. I've also designed financial instruments called Catastrophe Bundles and created an entire new mathematical foundation for decisions involving catastrophic risks and for social choices and policy decisions involving the long-term future. At her keynote address to the World Bank Annual Meeting of 1996, I proposed the creation of an International Bank for Environmental Settlements to regulate the world's carbon market, and in Bali in December 2007 I was invited by the Chair of the Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism to propose a policy successor to the Kyoto Protocol - involving carbon negative power plants and new derivative markets - to provide simple and practical solutions to resolving the impasse between China and the United States in today's Climate Change crisis.Professor I've also worked in the Kyoto Protocol process as well as working with the negotiators of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
