Rob Stavins: Welcome to Environmental Insights, a podcast from the Harvard Environmental Economics Program. I'm your host, Rob Stavins, a professor here at the Harvard Kennedy School and director of the Environmental Economics Program and our Harvard Project on Climate Agreements. Rob Stavins: In this series, I've had the pleasure of engaging in conversations with a really stellar group of men and women with tremendous expertise in energy and environmental policy, some of whom have combined substantial work in the academic world with very significant service in the public sector. And my guest today truly exemplifies that combination. John Holdren is a research professor and until recently was the Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard. He took an extended leave of absence from the university from January 2009 to January 2017, to serve in the Obama Administration as the president's science advisor and as director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. And he was in fact, the longest serving science advisor to the president in the history of the position.

On the cover: This edition of The United States Government Manual marks the 75th anniversary of the National Archives and celebrates its important mission to ensure access to the essential documentation of Americans’ rights and the actions of their Government. The cover displays an image of the Rotunda and the Declaration Mural, one of the 1936 Faulkner Murals in the Rotunda at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Building in Washington, DC. The National Archives Rotunda is the permanent home of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights. These three documents, known collectively as the Charters of Freeedom, have secured the the rights of the American people for more than two and a quarter centuries. In 2003, the National Archives completed a massive restoration effort that included conserving the parchment of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and re-encasing the documents in state-of-the-art containers.
