What's Climate Change Costing Our Community?

Ernie Niemi from Natural Resource Economics will lead us through the economic costs of wildfire smoke and other climate-related events in Oregon communities. Learn what you can do to protect yourself, your family and your home.

Please arrive a few minutes early if you'd like to grab a drink before the event. There will be no table service in the banquet room, so come in early to dine in the pub, or order your food at the bar. Due to limited capacity, each individual must register for their own ticket. Please cancel if you find yourself unable to attend.

Ernie Niemi specializes in applying the principles of cost-benefit analysis, economic valuation, and economic-impact analysis to describe the economic importance of natural resources. He formed Natural Resource Economics, Inc. in 2012. From 1978 to 2012, he managed economic and policy analysis for the consulting firm, ECONorthwest, where he was a co-owner, vice president, and senior economist. He also has taught cost-benefit analysis and economic development for the University of Oregon’s Department of Planning, Public Policy, and Management, and taught high-school science as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Uganda.

Natural Resource Economics uses rigorous analysis and clear communication to help clients, decision-makers, stakeholders, and the public understand all the many ways in which ecosystems contribute to the economic well-being of workers, families, businesses, and communities.
