Next week I will be back in Korea speaking at the new Asian Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainability (AIEES) at Seoul National University. Seoul National is the top-ranked university in South Korea.
The event is called "New Vision and Strategies of Research Institutes for Sustainable Development," and was put together by Professor Ki-Ho Kim, of Seoul National's Graduate School of Environmental Studies.
Professor Kim and I had lunch on the scenic campus on a warm March day during my US Department of State-sponsored tour of the nation. The university and the city of Seoul are hatching a plan to make the university campus a living model of a creative and green neighborhood, celebrating the arts, cultural attractions and the latest in sustainable urban planning, design and technology.
Also on the bill will be Christine Kim, Program Director of Yale's Environmental Performance Index, which ranks 149 countries on 25 sustainability indicators; Keisuke Hanaki, from the University of Tokyo; and Maanee Lee, Minister of the Environment for South Korea.
