The Future of Wealth on Earth: Opportunities and risks for investors, corporations, and activists in a changing global climate

The CERES 2002 Conference will focus on the growing environmental and social responsibilities of corporations and investors in the era of globalization. The major themes of this year's conference will be:

Corporate Governance and Accountability
Transparency and Sustainability
Climate Change, Wealth and Security
Globalization and Justice

The CERES 2002 Conference is a unique forum for leaders with widely different backgrounds, assumptions, and visions to find concrete solutions to today's environmental, energy security, and related economic challenges. CERES conference participants come to seek and offer solutions, challenge leaders and peers to make changes now, envision and lay the groundwork for a sustainable world, and plan ongoing action steps.

Join us on April 17-19, 2002 in Washington, D.C. to be a part of the exciting mix of executives, environmentalists, economists, investors, managers, policymakers, social activists, and analysts that make up the CERES Annual Conference. Lend your voice to the discussion of forward-thinking leaders who profit from a variety of perspectives, and who are ready to make real change now in the way we structure our economies, govern corporations, and sustain the ecological systems on which we depend.
