Kirk described aPEC 2011 as a potential “watershed moment” in U.s. economic engagement in the asia Pacific and promised a “bold and ambitious” approach aimed at further advancing key non-tariff barriers to trade and investment issues, facilitating cheaper, easier, and faster trade in the region, and promoting trade and investment in environmental goods and services. In keeping with the theme of the UsaPC’s day-long conference — “U.s.-asia Pacific relations: transitions in a new Era” — ambassador Kirk highlighted work underway on the 21st century “gold standard” trade accord with seven asia Pacific countries.

promote new technologies and emerging sectors, he said. ® C. Fred Bergsten, Director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, who participated in a panel discussion about the U.s.-asia trade agenda, concurred that the tPP should be at the heart of U.s. trade policy for both economic and geopolitical reasons. However, Bergsten and fellow panelist Edward alden of the Council on Foreign relations questioned the wisdom of making the tPP a “gold standard” agreement. By insisting on such high standards, Washington will have to try and include politically sensitive provisions covering agricultural trade and labor and environmental standards that could be deal-breakers, they said. Bergsten proposed that the Obama administration use the solid, but less politically contentious U.s.-Peru Free trade agreement as a model for the tPP. Conference speakers and panels also delved into such topics as the U.s. Congress and China; prospects for balanced, sustainable and inclusive growth in the asia Pacific region; U.s. alliances and partnership in the region; and use of the internet to facilitate political activism and development of civil society. (The USAPC, founded in 2003 by the East-West Center, is a non-partisan organization composed of prominent American experts and opinion leaders whose aim is to promote and facilitate greater U.S. engagement with the Asia Pacific region.) 8 | East - WEst CEntEr

“I am confident that this collaboration will continue to flourish and transform the Center into a leader and model for environmental sustainability throughout the Asia Pacific region.”

In January 2009, the students went a step further to put their ideals into action and adopted the “EWCPA Declaration of Sustainability,” which encourages students to bring their own reusable cups, plates, and utensils to EWC events and only purchase biodegradable, recycled and/or recyclable supplies for EWCPA-sponsored events. The use of local and/or organic food and vendors was also emphasized in the declaration. These goals were made a top priority and a shift in the supplies and food used was evident throughout the 2009 and 2010 student orientation. The declaration also focuses on the goal of supporting opportunities for students to learn more about issues of sustainability through volunteer projects, sponsored events, and EWC orientation. Trips to Ma‘o Farms provide hands- on experience in organic farming and composting that students then apply to their EWC gardens. Sustainabili-Tea, a monthly tea-time discussion on sustainability issues, and a weekly films series in Hale Mānoa on environmental issues helped generate more interest, awareness, and involvement. The EWCPA Sustainability Team also produces the Sustainable EWC newsletter, which is funded entirely by their recycling efforts. “The EWC sustainability initiative has evolved from grassroots gardening and recycling efforts into a full-fledged institution-wide initiative,” noted founding EWCPA Sustainability Coordinator Bryan Bushley. “I am confident that this collaboration will continue to flourish and transform the Center into a leader and model for environmental sustainability throughout the Asia Pacific region.”

Supporting the East-West Center

$1 Million Challenge Grant

The Boards of the East-West Center successfully met the million dollar challenge of an extraordinarily generous anonymous donor, who hoped that his million dollar pledge would stimulate Board giving. Between them, members of the EWC Foundation, Board of Governors, Friends of EWC, and EWC Association boards contributed the million dollars needed to meet the challenge!

Dr. & Mrs. Lawrence K.W. (BoHing Chan) Tseu Garden Courtyard

Dr. Lawrence Tseu, retired dentist and EWC Foundation Board of Directors member, pledged a capital gift of $500,000 to transform the Burns Hall Gallery Garden into a place that will be enjoyed by all members of the community as well as the Center’s students and staff. The courtyard will be named the Dr. & Mrs. Lawrence K.W. (BoHing Chan) Tseu Garden Courtyard in honor of his late wife BoHing Chan Tseu. The new garden courtyard will include sliding glass doors from the annex room, opening onto a deck that can serve as a stage for performances, as well as a welcoming place for educational activities and community gatherings.
