The Environmental Leadership Program Presents:

EMERGING LEADERS, EMERGING SOLUTIONS
Taking Action on Climate Change and Global Warming

July 10 - 12, 2007
New Jersey Institute of Technology
Newark, New Jersey (University Heights)

Climate Change poses an enormous challenge to policy makers, scientists, grassroots activists, legislators and business executives. In order to meet this challenge, leaders in these and other sectors have established model climate policies and are encouraging everyday citizens to take action in increasingly effective ways. Collectively, these actions are beginning to change the way that decision makers and the general public understand global warming and are encouraging actions to address these challenges.

Emerging Leaders, Emerging Solutions will highlight emerging strategies, leaders and ideas in response to global warming and climate change. The conference will explore solutions from a variety of sectors, including non-profit, business, policy, and community-based leaders. Speakers and panelists will share their model efforts, and participants will discuss ways to combine efforts to collectively address greenhouse gas emissions. Particular attention will be paid to issues such as: the appropriate balance of market-based and regulatory approaches to climate policy, issues of equity and justice in the formulation of climate policies, and the role of a wide range of solutions and policies from energy consumption and emissions reductions to alternative energy development, transportation and land use planning.

The conference is being co-hosted with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
