Beginning the New Year, we are reminded about our adaptability for the twists and turns that come up throughout the semester. It's kind of like adapting to this unpredictable weather - high sos one day and sub-zero a few days later! Somehow, we all find a way to make it work... If you have students who may have more challenges with adapting to these twists and turns, please encourage them to sign up for our new Resilience Series, Stronger through Struggle. You can read more about it below. Thank you for sharing with students that our food pantry was open throughout winter break. A few hundred items were taken off the table over break, demonstrating that this service is needed all year long. Our food pantry is now open every Friday through Monday morning at the CoRec. We appreciate this partnership with our campus colleague, Vanessa Pacheco, who is helping to make this happen. Take a few moments to read about our Mindfulness Series, the NEW Resilience Series, and the CRAVE Series for students. Those are great programs to recommend to students that you work with. The Crock Pot Demos have huge staff participations, and our Campus Improvement Team has put together a fantastic lineup for our spring Lunch and Learn Series. All info that we think you just NEED to know this month. Follow us We also want you to know that our peer mentors are changing their names to Wellness Mentors to better reflect the work that they do on @BoilerWellness ! campus and with students. They are still available for one-on-one consultations but also present in classrooms and do a tremendous amount of outreach for us.

    This is a pre-print version of an article published in Review of Environmental Economics and Policy. The version of record - "Encouraging Innovation that Protects Environmental Systems: Five Policy Proposals." Hepburn, Cameron, Jacquelyn Pless, and David Popp. Review of Environmental Economics and Policy Vol. 12, No. 1 (2018): 154-169 - is available online at: http://doi.org/10.1093/reep/rex024 1 Policy Brief Encouraging Innovation that Protects Environmental Systems: Five Policy Proposals Cameron Hepburn*, Jacquelyn Pless**, and David Popp*** 27 October 2017 Abstract Human innovations have created widespread human prosperity. However, they are also threatening the global environmental systems on which our economy and civilisation depend. The likely solutions to these challenges—such as the transition to clean energy systems—will require yet more innovation. This article presents five policy proposals that would support more innovation of the environmentally beneficial kind and less innovation of the environmentally harmful kind. We argue that the appropriate portfolio of innovation policies for protecting global environmental systems includes: 1) pricing natural capital; 2) providing and targeting R&D support towards environmentally-beneficial innovations, based on the evidence acquired through more rigorous experimental designs; 3) providing early- stage deployment subsidies for environmentally-friendly technologies in particular circumstances; 4) supporting collaborative R&D to leverage complementary capabilities in various types of
