Panel
Description:
This panel will analyze
President Obama's proposed stimulus bill through a sustainability lens followed
by a deeper discussion on the role of policy to foster a more
sustainable economy. In particular the discussion will focus on balancing
the immediate needs of the economy and the long-term timeframe of
sustainability. For example, groups such as Sustainable South Bronx, Sustainable
Jobs Fund, Apollo Alliance and Green for All are working towards creating jobs
creation while advancing the goals of sustainability.
