DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, October 19, 2004  5:30 pm, Reception  6:00 pm, Program  Waking the 
 Green Dragon: US-China Cooperation in Global Environmental Protection and 
 Sustainable Development  A moderated discussion featuring Wen Bo, Elizabeth 
 Economy, Miansheng Wang, and David Gordon  China is experiencing a period 
 of intense economic growth unlike anything the world has ever seen, but 
 while the past 35 years of 9% annual growth has dramatically improved the 
 standard of living for its citizens, the environmental costs have been 
 enormous. China is the home of seven of the ten most polluted cities in the 
 world and is the second largest emitter of energy-related global carbon 
 dioxide emissions, after the United States. The Chinese government is well 
 aware of the social and economic costs of environmental pollution, and in 
 1999 proclaimed its intention to stop environmental degradation by 2010. 
 Will China rise to meet the challenges of sustainable development?   This 
 panel discussion with leading experts on US-China environmental policy, 
 advocacy, and industrial/business cooperation, who will explore the 
 "greening" of China and the implications for the US and the globe: Wen Bo - 
 China Program Director, Pacific Environment, and Founder, China Green 
 Students Forum; Elizabeth Economy - Director of Asia Studies at The Council 
 on Foreign Relations, author of The River Runs Black: The Environmental 
 Challenge to China's Future; Miansheng Wang - Managing Director, US 
 Secretariat of the China-US Center for Sustainable Development; David 
 Gordon - Executive Director, Pacific Environment (moderator).  Pricing: 
 Members: $8.00; Non-members: $15.00; Students: $7.00. For Information and 
 reservations call the Commonwealth Club of California at (415) 597-6700.
