 issions arising in the home or from personal transportation constitute abo
 ut half of direct UK greenhouse gas pollution. Various policies have been 
 suggested to tackle these sectors\, such as personal energy quotas or envi
 ronmetal tax reform\, but may face large political barriers. This meeting 
 we will discuss how governments should regulate personal greenhouse gas po
 llution with the following excellent panelists who will speak on Policies 
 for Reducing Personal Carbon:\n\n*Speakers*\n\n# Dr Terry Barker\, 4CMR\,

 eaker Biographies*\n\n*Dr Terry Barker* is Director\, 4CMR (Cambridge Cent
 re for Climate Change Mitigation Research)\, Department of Land Economy\, 
 University of Cambridge\, Leader of the Tyndall Centre's Integrated Modell
 ing programme of research and Chairman of Cambridge Econometrics. He was a
  Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) in the IPCC Third Assessment Report (2001)
  and the Fourth Assessment Report (2007) for the chapter on mitigation fro
 m a cross-sectoral perspective\, covering the macroeconomic costs of mitig
 ation at national\, regional and global levels in the short and medium ter
 m (to 2030). Research interests are in GHG mitigation policy\, large-scale
  computable energy-environment-economy and world energy modelling. He has 
 directed and co-ordinated many large projects building and applying large-
 scale economic models of the UK\, the European Union and the global econom
 y. He has edited or authored some 12 books and 100 articles and papers.\n\
 n*Dr Philip Sargent* is a founder of the Cambridge Energy Forum and takes 
 a lead in developing its programme of work. He has extensive knowledge of 
 energy technologies internationally. Philip had had a university research 
 career as a physical metallurgist working in product design and materials 
 selection at Cambridge\, Technion and Carnegie Mellon universities where h
 e was a visiting professor. He is a member of the Institute for Materials\
 , Minerals and Mining\, a Chartered Engineer\, and has accountancy and man
 agement experience. He is currently working at Diboride Conductors Ltd.\, 
 which he founded\, which makes superconducting wire with Rolls Royce plc.\
 n\n*Dr Richard Starkey* works at the University of Manchester and is a res
 earch fellow at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. During his
  time at Tyndall he has conducted research into the feasibility and approp
 riateness of Domestic Tradable Quotas (DTQs)\, a proposed personal carbon 
 trading scheme. An equal allocation of emissions rights is at the heart of
  personal carbon trading and\, over the last two years\, Richard has been 
 assessing what level of support exists within the philosophical literature
  on distributive justice for such an allocation.\n\n*Dr Douglas Crawford-B
 rown* is Emeritus Professor in Environmental Sciences and Engineering and 
 Emeritus Director of the Institute for the Environment\, at the University
  of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He moved to Cambridge\, UK\, in 2008 an
 d is now Senior Sustainability Advisor for Pell Frischmann and a Principal
  in EnviroTech\, linking energy and environmental innovators\, investors a
 nd adopters. He received his degrees in physics (BS\; MS) and nuclear scie
 nce (PhD) from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His activities focus o
 n sustainability in the public and private sectors\, modeling human health
  risks\, modeling alternative policies to tackle environmental problems\, 
 assessing the quality of scientific information\, and developing tools of 
 risk assessment.\n
