TD Walter Bean Lecture

The Faculty of Environment is proud to welcome world-renowned professor of economics Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs as the 2017 TD Walter Bean Visiting Professor. 

Rising Nationalism versus Global Cooperation for Sustainable Development

In the era of Brexit, border walls and immigration bans, how does the world come together to achieve Sustainable Development Goals like protecting the environment, eradicating poverty, and providing access to clean water, education and decent work for all? In this provocative talk, Dr. Sachs will explore the dynamic tension between the current rise of nationalism and the pressing social and environmental issues facing the planet today. 

Registration is required as space is limited. Please RSVP by Friday, March 24.
