DESCRIPTION:When it comes to encouraging *pro-environmental behaviour*\, t
 he most popular tool in the policy toolbox is fiscal incentives and disinc
 entives – *taxes\, charges and rewards*.  One example of this is the *Lo
 ndon Congestion Charge*\, designed to encourage people out of their cars a
 nd into other forms of transport.  In this talk Professor Andrew Dobson wi
 ll discuss some of the evidence for the effectiveness of this policy tool 
 before examining its potential *disadvantages*.  Then he'll sketch an alte
 rnative – *environmental citizenship* – and discuss some the empirical
  evidence for it.\n\nIf fiscal incentives don’t work\, where does this l
 eave the Cambridge Congestion Charge plans?  Do fiscal incentives face the
  same problems on the international stage?  Come along to discuss this and
  other issues over a pub dinner!\n\nAndrew Dobson is an advisor to the Gov
 ernment's Sustainable Development Commission and Professor of Politics at 
 Keele University.\n
