| | | NPSG13-111 | | The NYC Waterfront Justice Project: Making Industrial Waterfronts Community Resilient/Climate Adaptable Speakers: Elizabeth Yeampierre, Esq., Executive Director, UPROSE; Juan Camilo Osorio, Policy Analyst, New York Environmental Justice Alliance. Moderator: Eddie Bautista, Executive Director, New York Environmental Justice Alliance Climate change is creating new challenges for businesses and residents in industrial waterfront communities. Climate change impacts may increase the risk of exposures to hazardous substances in areas vulnerable to sea level rise, storm surge and flooding. The work of the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance, a coalition of community-based organizations in low-income communities of color, shows how affected communities are leading the call to integrate climate adaptation planning and pollution prevention into planning and development in industrial waterfront communities. Industrial businesses located in vulnerable coastal areas will require innovative risk reduction and redevelopment strategies. Community-led, multi-stakeholder coalitions play a key role in developing new strategies to integrate climate change adaptation, industrial waterfront planning, and brownfields redevelopment. Financial and technical resources are required to help reduce risk, while protecting local industrial jobs and building a green economy. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
| | | APSA_NY12-301 | | Presidential Symposium: Minding the Markets: How Psychoanalysis Can Help to Build New Economics and Finance Thinking Speakers: Robert A. Johnson, MA, PhD (Exec Director of the Institute of New Economic Thinking); Professor David Tuckett (London, England); Warren R. Procci, MD, President (Pasadena, CA) APsaA’s international colleague, David Tuckett, has sought to contribute to the development of a new field of “emotional finance” with a specific interest in understanding the recent and continuing financial crisis. Human emotion has a critical impact on financial markets and, until very recently, economic theories have failed to take this into account. At the heart of the worst financial crisis in decades is a failure to organize markets in a way that puts controls on the very human emotion and behavior which trading unleashes. Robert Johnson and David Tuckett each speak on this subject and then lead a discussion concerning how psychological and psychoanalytic concepts can offer considerable assistance in understanding the sometimes irrational behavior of people and markets.
