Workshop: Towards a Sustainable Society

Jul 13, 2014 | Cerana Foundation, Indian Youth Climate Network
Hyderabad, India

One-day workshop: Charting a course towards a sustainable, equitable and peaceful society

We face one tilting point–environmental degradation and two tipping points–climate change and peak oil. Environmental degradation has already ruined the lives of many people in India and elsewhere. Climate change and peak oil have the potential to collapse our civilization. Yet, scant attention is being paid to address these issues.

The task of navigating a course through these issues has been thrust on future generations. And whether they like it or not, they will have to deal with the issues of resource wars, sustainability, equity and conflict, which are intimately related to the tipping and tilting points. This workshop attempts to help the participants to understand these issues through presentations, practical exercises and discussion.

For whom: This workshop is primarily for young activists wanting to understand the contours of the debates of sustainable development.

Venue: The workshops will be held at the Cerana Foundation office, D-101 Highrise Apartments, Lower Tank Bund Road, Hyderabad 500 080. Tel: 2753 6593. Highrise Apartments is the complex next to Courtyard Marriott Hotel on Lower tank Bund Road. The entrance to the complex is through a small lane behind Laxman Wines, which is at the beginning of the Gandhinagar Road, which forms a T junction with Lower Tank Bund Road.
