Sustainability Symposium

Sustainability@MIT, the club, is putting together a symposium next April or so, and I'm on the committee for designing the content and getting the speakers.

The theme is "Transitioning to a Sustainable Economy" but since it got too confused with the financial crisis, it is "Transitioning to a Sustainable World Community"


Sustainability@MIT and others are organizing the 2009 Sustainability Symposium to engage the MIT community and its supporters in a discussion on the Institute's current research, teaching, and service to improve the global ecosystem and public health, sustainable development, and social & economic equity.

We will be bringing world-class leaders in research and industry to campus to help guide a discussion on what MIT is and should be doing to speed the transition to a sustainable economy.
