The Adopt a Community Worker Program is our strategy to enable 10 African, 10 Asian and 10 Latin American community workers to participate in the IPC8 Conference. This will provide important Third World change agents the opportunity to make international contacts, collect the latest technical information and make the connections they will need to continue their work.

IPC8 THE CONFERENCE AND CONVERGENCE

Greening our Economy with the Principles of Permaculture

Permaculture is an ecological design science for creating efficient,
productive, and self-sustaining systems that serve human communities and
evolve into dynamic and regenerative relationships with the surrounding
environment. As such, the promise of Permaculture extends far beyond food
production systems to our entire economy. How we can use the principles of
permaculture to green the global economy will be the theme of the 2007
Permaculture Convergence in São Paulo, Brazil. By linking the Permaculture
concept to the emerging field of green economics we can begin defining what
a sustainable global economy might look like and how it can be practically
adapted to ensure that human welfare and ecological imperatives are rooted
at the center of the model. The theories and language of green economics
provide sustainable policies with a compelling argument couched in the
powerful language of money and economics.


The Conference will host international speakers who will present plenaries,
workshops and case studies that are directed towards responding to the
immediate challenges facing a world that must decide its course. Their work
will highlight public policy requirements and the active participation of
the business community necessary to encourage sustainable economies at the
local, state, and national level. Successful banking strategies, business
and innovations will be the three panels during which the themes of global
environmental markets, micro-financing, green accounting, certification,
complementary currencies and carbon credit exchange will be presented.
