The 1st Global Eco-Forum: Responsibility, sustainability & eco-innovation organized by eco-union with the collaboration of many public and private entities, is an international event to reflect, discuss and generate new ideas for a more sustainable and responsible society.



25 days of the interchanging of ideas on the net, before and after the event, plus one day on site, face to face forum in Barcelona (7/10/08) to reflect, discuss and generate new ideas for a more sustainable and responsible society.

EIG are a partner in this event.

- Global Eco-Forum
- Global Eco-Forum : Online space for participation
- Existing online debate regarding Eco-districts
- Global Eco-Forum on Wiser Earth
- Dunk on Wiser Earth
- Paul Hawken speaks at Bioneers 2006: Blessed Unrest and Wiser Earth

How the largest movement in the world came into being, and why no one saw it coming. Paul Hawken has spent over a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice.
From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes, these groups collectively comprise the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location, and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media. Like nature itself, it is organizing from the bottom up, in every city, town, and culture. and is emerging to be an extraordinary and creative expression of people's needs worldwide.

The first Global Eco Forum is underway, yesterday was the meeting in the real world in Barcelona (BCN), a very interesting, mostly inspiring, sometimes frightening, sometimes conflictive event that went on all day. I think its unanimous that the Michael Braungart (Cradle to Cradle) and Gunter Pauli (Zeri Foundation) discussion was the highlight: content, ideas, passion for radically changing the way the world works, doing not just talking….

If you missed out you can see Gunter talking tonight at 6pm in BCN, and the vid of yesterdays talk should be online and freely accessible soon.

The entire forum is an evolving new creature, 25 days of online activity in the Virtual Forum, that will finish in 10 days time, were half way there now, more or less. So who knows what’s in store…..

The Virtual Forum, an online website, is an amazing resource with videos, audios, online articles, discussions… its in Spanish and English, a remarkable new step, which when it becomes more the norm, will allow for truly “global” forum(s) to be realized, perhaps again mixing the real and virtual. It is presently accessible and viewable by all, but the content is composed of participants in this forum. This is just the first step, so obviously there is room for much improvement, so hopefully this community will grow, with that the tools will grow, with that the spaces will grow (both real and virtual) and from that more actions, events, meetings etc will form… the organic process of change from a presently not so healthy world toward an ecological and happier existence… Please be active, get involved, enjoy where it leads!

Anyway, arising from the forum is the well known idea of “Think Global, act local”, so with that I have just posted Towards a healthier, happier, eco-effective Barcelona in the discussion area, it links to the 9 page PDF that we made here at EIG and proposes some ideas for the city of BCN. If you have the time or the interest, please check it out and if you have views about the proposal or better still, ideas on how to make it a reality, please let us know.

Thanks,

Dunk
