The Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University is offering a seminar series this spring on sustainability and environmental governance . The seminars are free to PSU students, staff and faculty and the general public.
Space is limited .
The most pressing challenge to building environmentally sustainable economies and communities is the development of appropriate institutions and governance systems to support those goals. This seminar series will explore different aspects of sustainability and the changes in public and private governance systems required to support their application. The series will be hosted by Bob Doppelt, Director of the Center for Watershed and Community Health, and Dr. Craig Shinn, Associate Professor of Public Administration in the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government. Other PSU faculty and leading practitioners in the field will join them. The sustainable development movement is perhaps furthest developed in northern Europe.
