Help Build a New Green Economy: Aligning Science, Education and Markets The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) is pleased to request your participation at the 10th National Conference for Science, Policy and the Environment: The New Green Economy to be held January 20-22, 2010 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC. REGISTER NOW at http://ncseonline.org/conference/greeneconomy/
Please plan to join NCSE in a large interactive conference to develop and advance science-based solutions to move the economy to a more robust and sustainable condition. Help explore questions such as: “What constitutes ‘’green jobs’ and ‘green technology’? “Is a green economy more than green jobs and green technology in a growth economy?” “What alternatives are there to economic growth and metrics such as GDP?” “How does one create a sustainable economy that provides for full employment and opportunities for all?” “How can our present economic situation be used to create a new green economy?” The conference begins on the first anniversary of the historic inauguration of President Barack Obama. Leaders from the Obama administration and others will discuss and assess the performance of the administration in trying to simultaneously recover and green the economy. The New Green Economy conference will also be one of the first major events following the Copenhagen Climate Convention to take place this December. Participants from that historic meeting will provide firsthand reports. Conference participants will discuss the role of energy and climate change in economic transformation. The conference combines world-class speakers and discussions with 30 interactive facilitated breakout sessions to Develop an Economic Greenprint, 30 symposia to explore Pieces of Green, 40 skill-building workshops to learn Tools for Transformation, scientific and educational posters, the Green Pioneers Expo, a Youth Voices and Visions writing contest and opportunities to network with colleagues new and old. Confirmed speakers include Michael Crow, President, Arizona State University; Paul Hawken, Eco-entrepeneur, Mindy Lubber, President of Ceres, Gus Speth, Dean Emeritus, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Damon Silvers, General Counsel, AFL-CIO and Deputy Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel “TARP Accountability and Oversight”, and Herman Daly, Ecological Economist, University of Maryland.
