STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF KIRK P. ROGERS

"We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Department founder and first Director, Kirk Rogers.

Kirk's career was dedicated to building sustainable livelihoods in sustainable environments. In pursuit of these heart-felt causes, he fashioned a Department that played a pioneering role in many spheres of sustainable development, in practically every city and every River basin in the Americas. A sign that his trail-blazing efforts were globally recognized came when he his services were sought by the UN in the planning of the UN Conference on Environment and Development.

Kirk was a dear friend and mentor to many current and former staff of the Department of Sustainable Development and beyond.

He will be sorely missed but his rich and imposing legacy will live on.
