DESCRIPTION:Pacific Environment and the World Affairs Council of Northern California 
 Present:\nInternational Trends: China and Russia as Emerging Environmental 
 Superpowers\nKeynote Speaker: Mark Hertsgaard\n(Author of Earth Odyssey and 
 commentator on NPR's "Living on Earth.")\nChina is home to one-fifth of the 
 world’s population. Russia is home to one-fifth of the world’s 
 remaining frontier forests. China’s economy is the fastest growing in the 
 world, and with that growth, it has also become one of the most polluted. 
 Russia has been trying to gain an economic toehold by selling off its 
 timber, minerals, oil, and fish to the world. Learn how these forces at 
 play across the Pacific are posing some of the most crucial environmental 
 challenges the world currently faces. And learn how citizens in both 
 countries are rising up to these challenges, as environmental issues are 
 emerging as leading rallying points for democracy. The evening will feature 
 break-out sessions on China and Russia after the keynote speech.\n
