This panel will analyze President Obama's proposed stimulus bill through a sustainability lens followed by a deeper discussion on the role of policy to foster a more sustainable economy. In particular the discussion will focus on balancing the immediate needs of the economy and the long-term timeframe of sustainability. For example, groups such as Sustainable South Bronx, Sustainable Jobs Fund, Apollo Alliance and Green for All are working towards creating jobs while advancing the goals of sustainability.
