Sputnik

Emily Gertz

Today, October 4, is the 50-year anniversary of the launch of Sputnik by the USSR -- the first satellite launched by humans into space. Having spent my undergrad years studying Soviet-American relations, I feel a bit of a warm glow as folks from all over jump into re-analysing the dynamics of the Space Race phase of the Cold War -- it's like revisiting a fascinating phase of my teen years. The Space Race, for all its tensions, led to a huge expansion of human knowledge, from engineering...

"Green for All" Launches National Green-Collar Training Effort

Emily Gertz

Is a shortage of workers who can put up solar panels and build green roofs what's holding up development of a "green economy"? That's part of the premise behind "Green for All," a national jobs training project that launched today at the Clinton Global Initiative. Its goal is to set up jobs training programs that will create a force of 250,000 green-collar workers, drawn from the communities of "poor urban Americans" -- by which we should read African-Americans, as the group's announcement...

Using the Social Internet to Facilitate Democracy

Emily Gertz

The US presidential hopefuls are not ignoring the internet...but they're not getting it, either. Or maybe they don't really want to. Witness this week's breathless announcement from the election effort of former Massachussetts governor Mitt Romney (R) about its "Team Mitt: Create Your Own Ad!" contest, ...an unprecedented initiative to create the campaign's new television advertisement by empowering grassroots supporters of Governor Mitt Romney. The winner of the contest will become the...

Clinton Global Initiative: The Bigger Picture

Emily Gertz

I've opted for trying to report the CGI from a fairly subjective perspective. For the bigger picture, I particularly like Bill Clinton wheels and deals at his summit from Reuters, and this really prompt update on today's final open sessions from Newsday, Speakers touch on issues of poverty, religion at Clinton Global Initiative. Transcripts (PDF format) of the CGI plenaries are appearing up at the Initiative's web site -- worth checking out. 18:04 ET Update: Conference high points from...

Clinton Global Initiative: Swiss Re Invests Millions in European Clean Energy

Emily Gertz

A real come to the mountain moment right now: The midday plenary features former Senator Tim Wirth moderating a panel on "Global Warming and Severe Weather Events" -- Al Gore, Jim Baker, and Swiss Re president Jim Coomber . While what they're saying is familiar enough to those of us who've followed climate change for all these years -- the urgent need to act, the scientific consensus, the wrongheadedness of the naysayers, the problems with how the press reports on the issues, the need for...

Clinton Global Initiative: The Celebrity Report, and A Few Choice Commitments

Emily Gertz

In addition to the many, many heads of states, political movers, corporate CEOs and aid - development - environmental - religious luminaries present -- I nearly walked right into Jesse Jackson in a hallway, and of course Bill Clinton is liable to be around almost any corner at almost any moment -- there's a bit of Hollywood glamour in the house: Brad and Angelina, both increasingly involved in African aid and development. (The key to spotting Brad? Forget the blond look -- his hair's jet...

Clinton Global Initiative: Talk to me

Emily Gertz

The Clinton Global Initiative is a charming example of noblesse oblige organizing. The event's much publicized open discussions are happening in a tightly structured format of breakout sessions. Gathered at tables of about 12 people, invited participants are treated to an in-depth discussion of the session's themes by by a panel of experts. Then they deliberate ideas, outcomes, and next steps with the help of moderators -- who have been recruited via the America Speaks network. Press -- of...

Clinton Global Initiative

Emily Gertz

For the next couple days, I'll be blogging from the Clinton Global Initiative -- a huge inaugural confab of political leaders, non-governmental organizations, private businesses and activists, inaugurated by former U.S. President Bill Clinton around four tracks: Climate Change: Business Challenge, Business Opportunity Governance, Enterprise, and Investment The Escape From Poverty: Forging A New Deal Between The Developed And Developing World Religion, Conflict, and Reconciliation. What's...
