ANNOUNCEMENTS
Timothy E. Wirth named as the 2008 Jill and Ken Iscol Distinguished
Environmental Lecturer.
The Iscol Lecture will be held on the Cornell campus April 16 - 18, 2008.
Wirth is president of the United Nations Foundation and Better World Fund. These organizations
were founded in 1998 through a major financial commitment from Ted Turner to support and
strengthen the work of the United Nations. Prior to this, Wirth spent more than 20 years in the
United States Congress, representing Colorado both in the House of Representatives and the
Senate. Wirth then served in the U.S. Department of State as the first Undersecretary for Global
Affairs from 1993 to 1997. He is a graduate of Harvard College and holds a PhD from Stanford
University.
During his Senate term he played a key role in the conception and passage of landmark
environmental legislation and pioneered the trading of emissions for mitigating acid rain, which
was incorporated into the Colorado Wilderness Act, and introduced the first significant proposal
in Congress regarding climate change.
In the State Department he was responsible for U.S. foreign policy in the areas of refugees,
population, environment, science, human rights and narcotics, and played a key role in
organizing the Cairo International Conference on Population, and in negotiating the 1997 Kyoto
Protocol.
As president of the UN Foundation since it inception, Wirth has organized and led the
formulation of the Foundation's mission and program priorities, which include the environment,
women and population, children's health and peace, security and human rights.
