Energy Poverty and Sustainable Development

Professor Gautama, of Washington University's Brown School, will speak at a "Roundtable on Energy Poverty" at the Australian National University in Canberra, 11am 8 April 2014.

Roundtable on Energy Poverty

Gautam N. Yadama addresses issues related to poverty, the role of non-governmental organizations in sustainable development, and governance of common pool resources. He is particularly interested in understanding how communities partner with the state to supply and manage public goods for the benefit of the poor and the marginalized. His current research focuses on understanding micro-institutional mechanisms for managing community forests under various exogenous conditions, including state-community relations, decentralization, and resource pressures. He has worked on community forestry issues in India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Turkey. Have questions about Roundtable on Energy Poverty with Prof Gautama of Brown School, WUSTL?
