El-Ashry will discuss "Climate Change, Clean Energy, and U.S. Leadership," at 4 p.m. in the Luce Hall auditorium, 34 Hillhouse Ave. Sponsored by F&ES, the Center for the Study of Globalization, and the Council for International and Area Studies, the lecture is free and open to the public. A question-and-answer session and a reception will follow the lecture.
Mohamed El-Ashry served as the chief executive officer and chair of the GEF from 1991 until 2002. Under his leadership, GEF grew from a pilot program with 28 members to the largest single source of funding for the global environment with 173 member countries.
El-Ashry went to the GEF from the World Bank, where from 1991 to 1994, he managed a staff of 75 environmental scientists, sociologists and economists that formulate corporate environmental and social policy and provide guidance to operations units on environmentally sustainable development.
Prior to joining the World Bank, he served as senior vice president at the World Resources Institute. He directed projects on air pollution and acidic precipitation, as well as projects on land and water management in the arid regions of the United States, Canada, Mexico and Africa.
