NPRio+20

Next Monday I will join the NPRio+20 conference. NPRio+20 is the Dutch platform to prepare the UN conference for sustainable development in 2012. Aim is to get inspiration and knowledge from people in the field. Louise Fresco is chairwoman of the board. I'm looking forward to the conference on Monday. There is a website, but not very lively. there is also a linkedIn group with interesting discussions every now and then. The whole theme is rather broad, and, as I wrote on the website, there are more initiatives for a sustainable future such as the Millennium Goals. We have to integrate all those issues. If not we waste time and effort. Next Monday's theme will be 'towards a green economy'. Which priorities have to prevail? With a population on our planet of 6 billion and still growing that's an important question. For me keywords are FAIR | SUSTAINABLE | NEED | CONSCIOUS | FUN | RESPONSIBILITY | CREATIVE
