Environmental Stories to Watch in 2009

A transcript of a December 2008 address by Jonathan Lash of the World Resources Institute outlining key environmental questions for 2009, focusing on green economic stimulus, U.S. climate legislation, U.S.-China relations, and global forest protection.

• The World Resources Institute identified several key environmental themes to monitor in 2009, including whether economic stimulus packages would be 'green', the likelihood of the U.S. Congress passing climate legislation, the nature of U.S. cooperation with China, and the potential for new methods to protect global forests and combat illegal logging.
