HMEI Faculty Seminar “Conservation for Sale: International Bargaining over Payment for Ecosystem Services” by Kristopher Ramsay

Kristopher Ramsay, Chair, Department of Politics & William P. Boswell Professor of World Politics of Peace and War, will present “Conservation for Sale: International Bargaining over Payment for Ecosystem Services.” Join us in the Briger Hall Auditorium, 11 Ivy Lane, or stream it live. Ramsay is the first speaker in the Spring 2026 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series.

Prof. Ramsay will examine how stock-based international conservation payments shape government incentives over time. This talk will show that these payment schemes can discourage conservation by amplifying strategic bargaining behavior by both donors and recipients.

This seminar is free and open to the public. Lunch will be available in the Briger Atrium at 11:45 a.m.  Click here to stream it live, no registration needed. If you’d like to submit a question for the Q&A, you can do so here.
