Jeffrey Barber - ISF and ANPED

I am Jeffrey Barber, Executive Director of Integrative Strategies Forum (ISF), which is
a nonprofit organization in the United States just outside of Washington, DC.
The main work of ISF is to encourage dialogue, collaboration and
coalition-building among public interest organizations promoting
sustainability. Currently I am a Co-Chair of the Northern
Alliance for Sustainability (ANPED) and National Coordinator for the Citizens Network for Sustainable Development.
In the past 12 years ISF has especially focused on efforts promoting
sustainable production and consumption (SPAC), supporting networking, education and advocacy activities of
the CSD NGO Caucus on Sustainable
Production and Consumption; the SPAC
Working Group of ANPED; the SPAC
Issue Group of ECO Forum; the North
American Sustainable Consumption Alliance (NASCA); and the International Coalition for Sustainable
Production and Consumption (ICSPAC).
In addition to lobbying over the years for advances in SPAC policy at the UN
Commission on Sustainable Development (e.g., the UN Consumer Guidelines;
corporate responsibility and accountability), ISF helped coordinate the NGO
SPAC Caucus focusing on sustainable production and consumption priorities
throughout the World Summit on Sustainable Development. This included
organizing a series of roundtables on production and consumption, including the
report Waiting for
Delivery: A Civil Society Assessment of Progress Toward Sustainable Production
and Consumption. I also wrote the chapter "Production, Consumption
and the World Summit on Sustainable Development" in the book The
World Summit on Sustainable Development: The Johannesburg Conference (Spring,
2005) and most recently "Mapping
the Movement to Achieve Sustainable Production and Consumption in North America,"
in the Journal of Cleaner Production 15 (2007).
Prior to ISF, I spent more than a decade working in social policy and public
opinion research, including as Director of Media Research for Peter D. Hart
Research Associates. Earlier I was manager of audience and program research at
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and before that did communications and
marketing research at Arbitron Ratings Company, and Stanford Research Institute
(SRI International). I received my BA in psychology and MA in social science
from San Francisco State University.
