About the Event

Growing evidence suggests that the global economy, rooted in ideas and assumptions that were progressive two hundred years ago, is now destroying its own ecological base and offering little to billions of impoverished people. In response, pioneers are creating the architecture of sustainable economies, one innovation at a time.

Please join the pioneers of sustainable business practices for an afternoon briefing that will explore the innovative next steps required to create a sustainable economy.
