Global Ecovillage Summit, 10 – 14 December 2014, Senegal, Africa
The first Global Ecovillage Summit aims to mainstream Ecovillage strategies in regional and national sustainable development programs, in order to support community-led responses to climate change.
The Senegalese government has launched a program to transition 14,000 traditional villages to Ecovillages. What can we learn from this? The summit will bring together governmental decision makers, social entrepreneurs, NGO representatives, and Ecovillage experts from around the world, to share solutions and exchange best practices.
If you are interested in attending the summit, please contact the conference organization team at [email protected] and see http://www.gen-africa.org/ges2014 for further information.
