I didn’t recall seeing one lost before; however, by the end of the journey an hour or so later I had seen a couple more. I concluded it was just an example of me noticing somethin... [More]

by Erik Assadourian 26. January 2010 09:01

On Tuesday we launched State of the World 2010 and I wanted to share a bit of the ripples the report made–both good and bad. There were lots of positive news stories that allowed us to convey the key message of the report: that we need to intentionally transform cultures–making ... [More]

Gunung Rinjani

by Rob West 17. January 2010 03:36

by Tim Jackson 7. January 2010 07:21

Our pre-COP Earthcast – an Economics fit for a Low Carbon World – attracted a record number of participants. Inevitably, some of them wanted to know what, if anything, the summit might deliver. And how, if at all, the dilemma of economic growth would figure in its deliberations. ... [More]

Schroedinger's COP

by Nick Bellorini 18. December 2009 10:52

It’s started to snow on the sorry rainbow nation of ‘NGO’s without badges’, as they shuffle slowly toward their 8 hour-distant goal of registration as ‘Observers’ to the 15th Conference of the Parties. The Danish army are busily handing out a very welcome ... [More]

by Prashant Vaze 3. December 2009 11:56

“We have fewer than 50 days to save our planet from catastrophe,” the Prime Minister told the Independent. There have been a lot more headlines like this on the Road to Copenhagen. The talks are important but it’d be a mistake to overstate their importance. Disappointingly em... [More]
