The conference will provide you with the behavioural tools necessary to have the conversations needed to see, shape, and reach this new future. Drawing on the resource of Vision 2050, it will be centred on generative group work exploring cities and transport in the future, as well as how nature would do it. Expertly led, the content of these sessions will be captured on video and will be displayed on The Future We Want website and potentially at the exhibit at Rio +20 - the only exhibit the delegates will walk through.  Facilitated by content and culture panels, the "how" of how solutions are reached will be turned into a toolkit for participants to take with them at the close of the conference.

This is an executive summary report on the “Coal Plants in Transition: An Economic Case Study” prepared by Natural Capitalism Solutions in Colorado. The report makes a strong business case for energy providers to consider transitioning away from coal to a combination of renewable and energy efficiency technologies.  The transition becomes cost effective and quite profitable when combined with revenue streams that result from selling pollution credits (NOx, SO2), carbon credits, water rights, and also fuel savings.       The study specifically considers the Navajo Generating Station as an example. But the report is designed to provide information to utility managers all over the country who are faced with serious economic decisions regarding the future of their coal plants as we enter a carbon and water constrained world.
