Bill Clark was trained as an ecologist, and now works on the linkages between environmental change and economic development. He has recently completed a large collaborative study on "Learning to Manage Global Environmental Risks" (MIT Press), tracing the history of how countries around the world came to address the problems of acid rain, ozone depletion and climate change. For the last five years, he has co-directed the Global Environmental Assessment Project, a research and training effort to improve the effectiveness of scientific advice in international environmental policy making. Clark has been involved in research on sustainability issues since his early work with Buzz Holling on "Adaptive Environmental Assessment and Management" (Wiley, 1979) and Bruce Johnston on "Redesigning Rural Development: A Strategic Perspective" (Hopkins Univ. Press, 1982). Before joining Harvard in 1987, he led the program on sustainable development of the biosphere at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria. More recently he co-chaired (with Bob Kates) the U.S. National Research Council's study Our Common Journey: A Transition Toward Sustainability (NAS Press, 1999). He is now deeply involved in the international Initiative on Science and Technology for Sustainability.
