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, NYC
Economic Development Corp., NYSERDA, Metropolitan Transportation Authority,
and Apollo Alliance are working towards creating jobs while advancing the
goals of sustainability.
