“As someone who has worked with Jeff side by side on many important global issues facing us and this planet, I can think of no better leader for the Earth Institute as we face the next five years and the race to meet the Millennium Development Goals. At the Earth Institute, Jeff can continue his tireless and courageous leadership and will use this platform to continue to remind us of the economic, political and moral choices that we can and should make for the betterment of mankind and the planet.�
