DSDS 2011 - Tapping local initiatives and tackling global inertia
Date: 3-5 February 2011
Venue: Hotel Taj Palace, New Delhi

The Copenhagen Conference of Parties has clearly brought out the complexity of the process of global negotiations on climate change, and the inertia that has to be tackled in order for the world to act in response to the scientific reality of this growing global problem. The current trends observed worldwide in unsustainable use of natural resources and the widespread damage and degradation of fragile ecosystems are of serious concern. Yet, there are in evidence many successful examples at the level of sub-regions, states and provinces, towns, cities and villages where local communities have created solutions and set in motion initiatives, which provide hope and examples worthy of emulation. Why is it then that, while the world has found in several cases such inspiring models of sustainable development, globally there remains a wall of resistance and a huge volume of inertia that limits the acceptance of good solutions?

DSDS 2011 would mobilise leadership from every corner of the globe, and from every sector of human activity, to focus on the deeper malaise that accounts for the current phase of global inertia. It will create momentum going forward by exploring the means by which enlightened solutions being provided in several parts of the world at the local level can be applied globally. >>
