Workshop: Earth on the Balance Sheet: Making Sustainability Real @ Swissnex (North Beach)
Earth on the Balance Sheet: Making Sustainability Real: One Planet Budgeting: Making Sustainability Real with the Ecological Footprint - Are we running out of planet? Was Thomas Malthus wrong? Do economies self-correct or self-destruct when they operate as if resources were limitless? The Ecological Footprint explores these questions, and provides the tools to answer them. Global Footprint Network Executive Director Mathis Wackernagel will showcase applications from around the world, showing how government agencies, NGOs, businesses, and cities are making use of this tool to address issues of sustainability. Wackernagel will discuss the way, just as financial accounting tracks economic health, measures like the Footprint can help us manage our ecological balance sheet and develop policies that protect rather than deplete our natural capital.
