The talk will be given by Elinor Ostrom (2009 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences).
Abstract:
In this presentation, I would first like to present an article recently published in Science entitled “A General Framework for Analyzing Sustainability of Social-Ecological Systems.” After presenting an overview of the published article, I will go on to discuss some of our current efforts to develop this ontological framework still further.
