    Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and Author of Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet. Due to the growing realities of a crowded planet, Jeffrey Sachs believes our global economic system is in distress and discusses the need for a new economic paradigm, one that is global, inclusive, cooperative, and environmentally conscious. Named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential leaders in the world, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs has been a leading voice for economic development, environmental sustainability, and poverty alleviation. He currently serves as a Special Advisor to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and was the Director of the UN Millennium Project and Special Advisor to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
