Author Elizabeth Economy, Expert on Chinese Environmental Issues, to Speak at DU in February

Dr. Elizabeth C. Economy, an expert on Chinese environmental issues and C.V. Starr Senior Fellow and Director for Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, will speak about "China's Environmental Future" on February 9 at 7 p.m. in the Gates Concert Hall at the Newman Center at the University of Denver. Dr. Economy's remarks are free and open to the public.

She is the author of the award winning book, "The River Runs Black: The Environmental Challenge to China's Future." To RSVP for the event, please click here.

This event will be an exceptional opportunity for the DU community to learn more about the fascinating and vexing environmental issues being faced by the world's largest (in terms of population) country. What is going on in China will ultimately have an impact on everyone in the world, and consequently the more one knows about China and its challenges and opportunities, the better one can position him or herself to be part of the future.

I heartily encourage anyone interested in China to attend what will certainly be an interesting and informative presentation.
