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.
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.
