Subject: Invitation: UN Global Warming Volunteer Conference 14th – 17th February,2011
Dear Colleagues,
This is to announce the call for papers for the United Nations Global Warming Volunteer Conference (UNGWVC Conference & Expo 11), 14th - 17th February 2011 at The Hyde Park Hotel. London, United Kingdom.
Background
The financial, food and climate crises are individually serious issues, but in combination their impact could be catastrophic for the global economy. Perhaps we stand at crossroad. Even as we move into a global economic downturn there are growing calls for an accelerated transformation towards low carbon and resource productive economies. To move forward will require new and more efficient solutions, technologies and products alongside behavioral change. Climate change is now universally recognized as a significant global environmental challenge and as a consequence, debate over the measures needed to tackle climate change has moved up to the top of the agenda amongst civil society, business and government. The United Nations Global Warming Conference in Cancun in December 2010 highlighted the major challenges and opportunities associated with climate change as we move towards post 2012 carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction targets. In November 2008, UK raised the bar by announcing a target of cutting CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050. However, we need to create much better international, national and regional structures and systems to adapt to climate change as well. A new system is needed that fosters sustainable, low carbon and resource productive innovation - short, medium and long-term. Designers, innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, consumers and governments all have a role to play in the change that is needed.
Concept
UNGWVC Conference & Expo 11 themed "Impacts of the Global Recession on Sustainable Development, Global Warming Policy and Markets will provide a platform to discuss the future opportunities and challenges related to the design, development and commercialization of low carbon innovation, technologies, products and services. UNGWVC Conference & Expo 11 will include invited and refereed papers from academics, consultants, entrepreneurs, investors, technology providers, designers, sustainability, environment and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) managers as well as other business functions. The event will be a unique learning experience, networking space and an opportunity to think. Delegates will come globally from companies and entrepreneurs, as well as academia, government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The conference is supported by an international Advisory Board, business groups, NGOs and Government agencies.
