The Earth Institute and the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University present a book launch, Sustainability Policy: Hastening the Transition to a Cleaner Economy. Authors Steven Cohen, William Eimicke, and Alison Miller will be discussing their new book, published by Jossey-Bass in January 2015.
The technological, social, cultural, economic and political transition to a sustainable economy has begun, and public policy is playing a critical role in this transition.
Practitioners from the New York City Mayor’s Office of Sustainability and the U.S. federal government will join experts from the Earth Institute and the School of International and Public Affairs to discuss the many ways that federal and local governments can support a transition to a sustainable economy based on renewable resources.
