The Next Generation of Environmental Policy: Creating an economically and environmentally sustainable future in the Northwest A Round Table Discussion with: Marian Chertow and Daniel Esty of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy May 8, 1998, 11:30 - 1:00 pm Balmer 213 About the Next Generation Project: Earth Day, 1970 awakened Americans to pollution issues and served as the catalyst for the modern era in environmental law and policy. A new set of federal laws were key to improving the environment and successfully attacking the *big dirties* - the orange rivers and belching smokestacks that dotted the landscape. But new times demand new linkages, tools and strategies. Our current environmental problems are less visible, subtler and more difficult to approach. Their solutions require expanding the set of actors who must address them in areas such as land use, transportation agriculture, energy and, as never before, environmental policy. A regime of separate laws for air, water and waste materials and products no longer squares with our understanding of the connectedness of ecological phenomena. It also can prevent us from taking advantage of opportunities that arise to increase efficiency and improve technology. In the next generation we must view our environmental concerns not as singular rainstorms to which we need only find and raise our umbrellas, but as a weather pattern integrally connected to a host of other issues from which lasting shelter can be found only through careful and thorough study of the system as a whole. The Yale Center for Environmental law and Policy began The Next Generation Project in 1995 in an effort to develop and disseminate informed, thoughtful and comprehensive strategy for tackling the environmental hurdles of the next 25 years. The project assembled some 250 distinguished leaders from business, government, academia and non-governmental organizations to investigate and report on each of the 14 fields that required examination as part of the next generation policy. The final reports were brought together to form a single compendium entitled, Thinking Ecologically: The Next Generation of Environmental Policy. ---1936847003-2113708993-894468727=:70230-- .
