The Cleveland Council on World Affairs and the U.S. State Department are sponsoring a visit to NE Ohio by an international delegation of resource-managers, policy and decision-makers, business people, and journalists from around the world, all with interests and expertise in environmental issues. On Friday, April 28, the delegation will come to Cleveland State for a luncheon, presentations, and panel discussion focusing on linking local environmental initiatives to the global challenges of environmental sustainability and protection. Cleveland State University faculty and distinguished guest panelists will present information about regional approaches to environmental issues, followed by a panel discussion intended to promote exchange of ideas and collaborative links with our international guests.
