The workshop
This is perhaps the biggest challenge of the 21st century: How to achieve global development and equity without further overstepping the ecological limits of the Earth? The planet’s limited resources need to be managed in a manner that still provides an opportunity for future generations to create their own ways of life in a sustainable manner. The Heinrich Böll Foundation (HBF) and the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) want to develop better,alternative strategies for the sustainable use of the Earth’s resources.
HBF and CSE invite young activists and academics from India and Afghanistan to deliberate freshly about an equitable global resource governance policy of the future.
The Workshop in Delhi in January 2013 will have a focus on land, water and resource extraction. Its aim is to facilitate an exchange between young people working on, or dealing with,resource issues and to sensitize them towards different approaches and perspectives outside of their own discipline or resource focus.
Two participants will be selected to present the findings at an Alternative Resource Summit in Berlin, Germany, in 2013.
This workshop will be conducted in cooperation with HBF Kabul, Afghanistan, and other similar workshops held by other HBF offices worldwide.
