The New Green Economy Conference
The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) welcomes you to the 10th National Conference on Science, Policy, and the Environment: The New Green Economy.
Marking a decade of history, NCSE's signature national conference will engage leading thinkers and doers from a diversity of disciplines, sectors, and perspectives in a structured conversation about the meaning of the green economy and how investment in green education, research and jobs can help solve both the economic and environmental crises.
Welcoming over 1000 attendees, The New Green Economy will bring together leaders in sustainable business, environmental policymakers, civil society, university faculty, students from across the nation, and educated citizens.
NCSE leverages a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral approach to bring together involved scientists and decisionmakers from a wide range of organizations. Our conferences are highly interactive, including renowned speakers, topical symposia to explore issues in more depth, and breakout sessions to develop (and publish) recommendations on how to advance science and connect it with policy and decision-making.
Some confirmed Speakers Include:
* Herman Daly - Professor, University of Maryland, School of Public Affairs
* Paul Hawken - Eco-entrepreneur and widely acclaimed Author
* Tim Jackson - Economics Commissioner, UK Sustainable Development Commission
* Van Jones - Author of "Green Collar Economy"
* Martha Kanter - Under Secretary, US Department of Education
* Mindy Lubber - President, Ceres
* Joseph Romm - Founder and Executive Director, Center for Energy and Climate Solutions
