Jeffrey Sachs in conversation with Roy Eisenhardt

Wednesday, April 9, 8 pm



Jeffrey Sachs is Director of the Earth Institute, where he is also a professor of sustainable development. This unconventional and impassioned economist advocates combining economic development with environmental sustainability. Through the Earth Institute and as Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University, Sachs has analyzed challenges of economic development, poverty alleviation, and globalization for more than 20 years. From 2002 to 2006, Sachs was Special Advisor to United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Director of the U.N. Millennium Project. Sachs is also President and Co-Founder of Millennium Promise Alliance, a nonprofit organization aimed at ending extreme global poverty. A tireless advocate for poverty alleviation in developing countries, Sachs has previously served as an economic advisor to governments in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and the former Soviet Union. He is a prolific writer of scholarly articles and bestselling books, including The End of Poverty. His latest work, Commonwealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet, describes the potential road to sustainable and equitable global prosperity while warning of the imminence of global economic collapse. Among his many accolades, Sachs was noted by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential leaders in the world in 2005 and he was awarded the Padma Bhushan, the Indian Government’s high civilian honor.
