The State of the World Forum
The State of the World Forum in Washington D.C. February 28 – March 3, 2010 will be the second major convening of the 2020 Climate Leadership Campaign, in partnership with Bioneers. Its purpose is to continue to expand the ten year strategy initiated in Belo Horizonte, Brazil August 4 – 7, 2009 and continue building collaborative strategies between climate leaders. You are welcome to join us.
The Washington Forum will continue to emphasize the urgency of global warming and the fact that each and every one of us must become climate leaders. For the first time in our lives, indeed for the first time in history, all of us must take responsibility for our climate, whether at the individual, community, company, institution, state, or national level. We are all responsible for global warming. We must all share in the leadership required to solve it, for nothing less than the fate of human civilization is at stake. The crisis is that stark, the choice is that clear, the leadership required is that urgent.
If we rise to this challenge, if we take climate leadership, we will generate climate prosperity and climate justicebecause it is precisely our capacity to solve our greatest crisis that affords us our greatest opportunities for growth within the context of sustainability and alignment with natural systems.
