University of Alberta International Week 2010
Decades after the World Commission on Environment and Development called for a development path that "sustained human progress not just in a few pieces for a few years, but for the entire planet into the distant future," the global community struggles to envision and protect a shared future.
This year’s theme conveys the need for brave and collaborative solutions in the face of global challenges, inviting discussion on innovation as well as on the reflection necessary to "boldly go" responsibly forward. We hope that programming will balance out the sometimes grim lessons learnt (or not yet learnt), with exciting developments in technology, opportunities for action and prospects and alternatives for the future.
