MIT holds contest for climate, green economy policy ideas

As part of an ongoing project through the Climate Colab, which falls under the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, submissions are being accepted through September 30 for a contest outlining "how people believe the 21st century global economy should evolve given the risks of climate change." Winning proposals, the Center says,  will be included in briefings now being planned for policy makers at the United Nations and U.S. Congress.

This examiner interviewed the Associate Director of CCI, Robert Laubacher, about the project.
