DESCRIPTION:We regret to say this talk had to be cancelled due to bad weath
 er.  The Faculty of Law welcomes Professor Kira Matus\, London School of E
 conomics.  Abstract  There are multiple ways in which innovation interacts
  with policy and sustainability.  Policy is often considered as a tool for
  mitigating the negative impacts of technologies\, many of which have crea
 ted significant problems in regards to sustainability.  Policy can also be
  used proactively\, to help spur innovations that support sustainability. 
  In fact\, development of new technologies may in fact open up new avenues
  for more effective policy approaches to challenges to human health and th
 e environment.  This talk will investigate the relationship between polici
 es and innovations in the context of green chemistry.  Chemicals have one 
 of the longest histories of regulatory and policy activity\, and yet chemi
 cals policy is just beginning to design policy to mobilize science and tec
 hnology.  Green chemistry\, in particular\, is being discussed as scientif
 ic discipline\, class of innovation\, and as a distinct policy paradigm.  
 While the impacts of green chemistry technologies stem from their direct b
 enefits to health and the environment\, they also have potential to enable
 rs of new policy approaches that will be more effective at dealing with dy
 namic sustainability problems.  About the speaker  Dr. Kira Matus is assis
 tant professor of public policy and management in the Department of Govern
 ment at the London School of Economics. She is also co-Project Director of
  the 'Innovation and Access to Technologies for Sustainable Development Pr
 oject' at Harvard's Sustainability Science Program. Her research focuses o
 n the intersection of innovation\, sustainable development\, and public po
 licy.  Prior to joining the LSE\, she was a senior policy analyst at the C
 enter for Green Chemistry & Engineering at Yale University.
