Organization: Sustainable Hudson Valley
Title: Resilience and Renewal: Collaboration for a Sustainable Region
Location: H. A. Wallace Center at the FDR Library & Home, Hyde Park
Date/Time: May 20, 2013, 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Description:
The Hudson Valley region is rich with preserved land, fresh water, agriculture and local creative economies – rich and attractive to diverse interests including new population and industry. As the region completes its “Cleaner, Greener Communities” plan for sustainable development, it is timely for all interested parties to gather for a fresh look at ways to work together. Facing climate change and other “black swan” stresses, we must access new creativity to meet our challenges and bounce back better together.
Two inspired keynote speakers will showcase local success models and share lessons learned:
- Anders Ferguson, The Oberlin Project
- Randall Solomon, Sustainable Jersey
Two themes – resilience and renewal – will underlie our exploration of options for regional collaboration to create a low-carbon future with high quality of life for all.
