The Institute for a Sustainable Earth is pleased to invite you to an event co-organized with the Schar School of Policy and Government and the Business for a Better World Center. Join us for a virtual armchair conversation followed by an interactive question and answer session open to the public. The conversation will address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and in particular, Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
Our invited speaker is Ambassador Ertharin Cousin, former Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme, US Ambassador to the UN Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome from 2009 to 2012. She has more than thirty years of national and international non-profit, government, and corporate leadership experience. Cousin is the Payne Distinguished Professor at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and Distinguished Fellow at the Center on Food Security and the Environment and the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law.
Dean Mark Rozell of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University will provide an introduction and opening remarks.
The conversation will be moderated by Dr. J.P. Singh, Professor of International Commerce and Policy at the Schar School of Policy and Government, and Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy in Berlin.
