3: Environment
Partner with the International Forum on Globalization to critique false environmental solutions and promote transformational
policies that emphasize sustainability, equity and protecting the ‘commons’
Other Information:
All people also have a right to clean air, land, water, and food. We have a responsibility to keep the planet habitable for
future generations of humans and other living things. IPS scholars monitor the insidious role of the World Bank and other
international financial institutions in climate-altering fossil fuel investment. We collaborate with international efforts
to keep the alternative energy movements focused on truly sustainable solutions rather than ephemeral “quick fixes”( like
the rush to rebuild the nuclear power industry). And we are convening academic, industry and government experts to develop
better strategies for managing and disposing of nuclear waste. IPS is partnering with the International Forum on Globalization
to critique false environmental solutions and promote transformational policies that emphasize sustainability, equity and
protecting the ‘commons’. We’re pushing the World Bank to expand clean energy lending: organizing a research tem to identify
an alternative energy and economic future for the Americas: and bringing activists, journalists and policymakers to Latin
America to expose the environmental and human costs of the misguided “war on drugs.”
