Boulder Forum on Atlantic Media and the Environment (FAME-I)

  • Wednesday - Saturday, Nov 12 - 15, 2008

  • The CSIS Transatlantic Media Network and the Center for Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado hosted the first U.S.-European environmental journalists' conference in Boulder, Colorado, from November 12 to 15.

    The summit brought together top environmental journalists from the United States and Europe to compare different approaches to covering the environment and divergent public attitudes on the two sides of the Atlantic. Some of the biggest political differences between Europe and the United States are on major environmental questions, such as how to handle climate change and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Conference participants assessed how Europe's image of the United States and American views of Europe are affected by such disagreements, the threats they pose to greater transatlantic understanding, and how media coverage could be improved.
