A message from Peter Bosshard

Got this email from Peter Bosshard, who I interviewed about China’s relationship with Africa (read my previous post here):

Dear Supporter,

My name is Peter Bosshard and I’m the Policy Director at International Rivers. I wanted to invite you to a presentation that I will be giving at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on Wednesday, February 13.

China has rapidly become a global economic superpower. Chinese companies are currently drilling for oil, cutting down forests and building dams around the world. At the same time, China has become the world leader in renewable energy.

In my presentation I will deal with the environmental footprint of China’s global expansion. Does China’s quest for resources spell doom for the world’s rivers, forests and climate? How has the country responded to pressures to respect human rights and the environment? What is the responsibility of the West, and what can concerned citizens, consumers and NGOs do?

The event will begin with a reception at 5:30 pm. My presentation will begin at 6 pm, and there will be ample time for discussion. Tickets are $8 for Commonwealth Club members and $15 for non-members.

For tickets please visit the Commonwealth Club website at www.commonwealthclub.org and click on the events calendar.

I hope that you’ll be able to attend this timely event.

Best regards,

Peter Bosshard
Policy Director
International Rivers

I will also post this listing on the ResponsibleChina 30 Boxes Calendar.
