'Green and Sustainable Technology'. with Satish Kumar
Explore how on the one hand, technology which works in harmony with nature and does not replace human hands is good technology. On the other hand, technology which undermines nature and displaces human hands, making human hands redundant is bad technology. The workshop, which will be led by a world-renowned and leading environmental activist, will examine what kind of technology we want for the future which goes with the grain of nature. Can technology serve the earth? If it can, what will it be?"
Satish is the editor-in-chief of Resurgence & Ecologist magazine and his workshop will conclude with a 10 minute film on The Resurgence Trust to visit the website click here

Book on to a tour of One Brighton--the pioneering One Planet Community in Central Brighton.
Participate in workshops in partnership with Brighton and Hove City Council on the following themes:

Can the One Planet framework help align different agendas and increase efficiency of planning, delivery and capital flow? Can One Planet Living differentiate places and increase inward investment? What are the main actions we need to take to enable more One Planet Communities to be built?

Cities for Change

What is the place for cities with under 0.5 million residents in a One Planet Future? Can smaller cities outpace megacities? Can they lead in creating a green growth economy? Can smaller cities create a higher quality of life? What are the key factors in making a successful One Planet City? What are the specific actions and projects we can develop?

With pressures on public budgets, can One Planet Living’s focus on quality of life help us build consensus in an age of austerity? Can we increase financial and economic resilience? What cultural changes might be required?
