Fellow conservationists, A few days ago I posted a message encouraging recipients to join the U.S. Society for Ecological Economics (USSEE), which is considering a position on economic growth. Naturally, people have asked, ^ÓWhat would such a position look like?^Ô Therefore, I have posted a template position for scientific institutions, professional societies, and conservation NGOs to consider: http://www.homestead.com/prosites-brianczech/PositiononEG.html I believe this template position includes the key elements necessary for a desirable paradigm shift in the environmental and economic policy arenas. Such a shift will not occur, however, unless the conservation community develops solidarity on the issue. Please circulate this message among other conservation listservers. I belong only to the TWS and ESA listservers, though I am joining the American Fisheries Society to help advance a position on economic growth. Thank you for your consideration, Brian Czech Arlington, VA USA ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2003 16:44:08 -0700 From: Ashwani Vasishth <vasishth@USC.EDU> Subject: News: World Environment Day, June 5 (fwd) World Environment Day 5 June [pdf] http://www.unep.org/wed/2003/ This Web site introduces the United Nations Environment Programme's World Environment Day (WED), hosted this year in Beirut.
