“How to Eat Healthy in the Big City – And Not Have to Pay for It” by Nicole Brownstein
Urban Policy student, and good eats connoisseur, Nicole Brownstein published an article on PolicyMic citing creative ways to eat healthy in NYC. From growing produce on a fire escape to using old cans and jars to plant herbs, there are plenty of opportunities to eat healthy and save money!
E-Discussion on Post-2015 Development Agenda
Imagine the world you want in 2050. What changes will be necessary to put global development on the
path to building a more just, equitable world? The United Nations system is working with governments
and civil society to build on the momentum generated by the MDGs, and to design an ambitious post-
2015 development agenda that delivers a sustainable future for all.
As part of this work, the Equator Initiative will facilitate an online e-discussion, co-hosted by UNDP
and UNEP, on the role of local empowerment and environmental sustainability in the post-2015
development agenda. This discussion will take place from May 13-26 2013. Its objective is to facilitate an open dialogue that brings together a multitude of voices to stimulate creative thinking, and begin to generate consensus around how best to reflect environmental sustainability in the post-2015 agenda.
This is is a unique opportunity to make sure that community-based action, innovation and empowerment are at the centre of the development agenda beyond 2015. Milano students and faculty are encouraged to lend their voices to the global conversation. Once open, you can post a response and participate in the discussion here.
