SUMMARY:Public lecture: Prof Michael Jacobs\, Grantham Research Institute
DESCRIPTION:‘Capitalism\, carbon and climate change’ \nFulton A Lecture Theatre\nUniversity of Sussex\, Falmer\nBrighton \nPublic lecture\, followed by drinks reception\nAll welcome \nMichael Jacobs is a Visiting Professor at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics\, and in the School of Public Policy at University College London. He is a former Special Adviser at the UK Treasury and 10 Downing St. \nAbout the lecture\nClimate change is now upon us: the science is incontrovertible.  But the economic downturn has turned public and political attention to more immediate concerns\, and climate policy in Britain and the EU is going into reverse. \nIn this keynote lecture\, Michael Jacobs will draw parallels between the financial crisis and the crisis of climate change\, both rooted in a failure of orthodox economic theory and political debate to understand the systemic risks built up by an under-regulated capitalism.  Tackling both crises will require a new way of thinking about economic value and economic policy\, and a reassertion of the role of politics in securing the public good. \nOther events\nThis lecture is part of a series of public events linked to the 2013 STEPS Centre Summer School on pathways to sustainability. \nSee the Spring Series events page for more details. \n \nOther events in this series: \n20 May: Fuel poverty\, climate change and social justice\nPublic debate with Jim Watson (UK Energy Research Centre)\, Kirsty Alexander (Head of Communications\, Nuclear Industry Association)\, Doug Parr (Chief Scientist\, Greenpeace) and Thurstan Crockett (Head of Sustainability\, Brighton & Hove City Council). Chaired by Alice Bell (SPRU – University of Sussex)\nJubilee Library\, Brighton \nThe previously advertised lecture by Johan Rockström on 16 May has been cancelled.

SUMMARY:STEPS/Future Agricultures Seminar: Mohamed Elmi and Izzy Birch
DESCRIPTION:The politics of policy-making around pastoralism in Kenya\n \nHon. Mohamed Elmi Member of Parliament for Tarbaj constituency\, Kenya  and Former Minister for Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands \nIzzy Birch Technical Adviser\, National Drought Management Authority\, Kenya (formerly Ministry of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands) \nSTEPS Centre / Future Agricultures Consortium Seminar\nIn April 2008 the Government of Kenya created a ministry to focus on the distinct challenges and opportunities of the country’s arid lands. Long-neglected and misunderstood by central policy-makers\, these are areas on the one hand marked by insecurity and inequality\, but on the other possessed of substantial\, if latent\, endowments and strengths. \nThe speakers will reflect on the ministry’s experience of promoting policy and institutional reform in the interests of a predominantly pastoral region and discuss its relationships with a range of other policy actors. They will highlight the challenges of pursuing long-term change within the limits imposed by five-year administrations\, as well as the prospects for further consolidation of the reforms under Kenya’s new national and county governments. \nThe book Pastoralism and Development in Africa: Dynamic Change at the Margins is available to buy from Routledge (published 2012).
