The conference took place 31 October – 1 November 2008
at Wessex Water in Bath
Tha aim of this Conference was to build on the success of the conversations started at our first Conference – The Next Great Transformation - with the Eden Project, the UN Global Compact, Shell, EABIS and others in October 2007.
How do we make the Transition to a Low Carbon Sustainable Enterprise Economy?
How can the new economy help deliver freedom from fear and freedom from want – the two issues at the heart of the human security debate?
How can you, your organisation, your place of work, think and breathe in the new economy?
How can we harness the best of what it means to be human - sharing, caring, enterprise, innovation, creativity and problem solving - to create peaceful, socially just and environmentally sound enterprises and a sustainable enterprise economy?
This conference was aimed for reflective practitioners in Business, Government and Civil Society. For people who want to integrate corporate responsibility, human security, globalisation, sustainability, rural and urban livelihoods, food, water, and developed and developing country perspectives. People who know that we need to talk across sectoral and professional boundaries, to break the rules and to find solutions on the journey towards the new low carbon sustainable enterprise economy.
