Planet 2050 Workshop October 26-31st, Lund Sweden

At the end of some leave in October, I have been invited to attend a workshop called the Planet2050 in Lund, Sweden, from the 26th to the 31st.

http://www.theplanet2050.org/

While there, I’ll be sharing insights and lessons from EPA’s Rising Above Hot Air workshop on Tuesday September 30th.

That said, frankly, I am humbled by the attendance list, and need some help from people back home. I will be writing up a day journal of the workshop on a blog, summarising and reflecting on proceedings. I am inviting comments and responses from interested people, which I’ll try to share at the workshop, and after.

The aim of the workshop is to

(i) describe a number of desirable futures for Earth between the years 2030 and 2050;

(ii) explore pathways to move from the present situation toward those futures; and

(iii) identify more immediate constraints to, and opportunities for, moving human environment systems onto the more desirable pathways.

Each participant has been asked to provide a short vision statement for a desirable future and pathways there, which I attach for your information.

The organisers intend a book to come out of it, amongst other communications.
