For five consecutive years, the Aspen Environment Forum was a fixture on the city’s intellectual events calendar – delving into environmental and energy policy issues alongside academics, government officials, the media and experts from energy/environmental industries. Topics tackled include the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, climate change,fracking and ‘green’ infrastructure building.According to David Monsma, director of Aspen Institute’s energy and environment program, generating sufficient interest and sponsorship dollars continued to be a “substantial challenge.”
A statement posted on the environment forum’s website read, in part, “We have decided not to convene the Aspen Environment Forum in 2013 but will continue to partner on the important issues related to our human relationship with the natural environment. Stay tuned for more.”
“It’s not abandoned by any means,” he said. Here’s hoping.
