For years, American environmentalists held a largely pessimistic outlook on our planet’s future. But recently, the environmental movement has seen significant changes. Join Steven F. Hayward—a resident scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, who previously authored an AEI book on favorable environmental trends—for a presentation on how the trend data demonstrate the momentum of environmental progress in the US and around the world.

Afterward, join Dr. Hayward and AEI’s Roger Pielke Jr. as they discuss environmental trends and the exceptional case of climate change, which overshadows almost every other environmental issue. Dr. Hayward and Dr. Pielke will explore what we have learned about the environment, what important information gaps remain, and lessons for future policy choices.

Submit questions to Guy.Denton@aei.org or on Twitter with #EnvironmentalProgress.

n AEI’s Roger Pielke Jr. and Steven F. Hayward of the University of California, Berkeley, as they discuss the state of the environment and how policy choices can shape environmental progress.
