Administrative History of the Task Force

The President's Council on Sustainable Development created the Population and Consumption Task Force (PCTF) at its July 1994 meeting in Chicago, approximately one year after the other Task Forces began their work. In addition to Council members and their liaisons (see Appendix B), a number of non-Council members joined the Task Force to expand the field of expertise upon which the Task Force could draw. These non-Council members are listed in Appendix C.

In order to gather relevant data quickly, the Task Force called on Judith Jacobsen of Boulder, Colorado, to conceptualize and organize three roundtable discussions, involving both expert presentations and public comment, on: (1) population issues; (2) consumption issues; and (3) policy recommendations in both areas. These roundtables were supported by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, given to the Walter Orr Roberts Institute of Boulder, Colorado, which provided all necessary administrative and logistical support.

The Task Force convened these roundtables in Washington, D.C., on October 27, 1994; in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on January 11, 1995; and in New York, New York on March 3, 1995. Speakers, their affiliations, and their topics are listed in Appendix D.

These roundtables and other extensive research and analysis formed the basis for the goals and policy recommendations developed by the Task Force. Full statements of the goals, policy recommendations and action items are included in Chapter 4.
