INVITATION
This Conference will follow the tradition of the Annual Green Economics Conferences which are the world's leading Conference series in Green Economics. Internationally renowned composite, multidisciplinary, scientists, economists, campaigners, Policy makers and Directors, Professors Social scientists and Researchers from all over the globe continue to attend the very popular Green Economics Series, and to present their frontier research findings and to keep up to date with latest achievements and developments in this very fast moving and leading and topical field.
A main theme of the Conference will be "Green Economics, Greening the Economy- long and short term solutions to the the credit crunch- finance, food issues- biofuels and land- fuel- challenges- and the 6th ever mass species extinction on earth. Green Economics views the current downturn as a clash between ecology and economy and argues that the commodity instability is a symptom the exhaustion of natural resources. The markets are correctly reflecting that and are indicating that traditional economics instruments and derivatives are however no longer any use, and new methods of creating a natural economics of abundance need to be urgently developed. The world has changed and Green Economics is an economics which is comfortable with long termism- equity, climate issues and biodiversity costs and poverty prevention, and which has been waiting to take the mantle and that time has now arrived!
We look forward to welcoming you to Oxford University, one of the most beautiful cities in the world with outstanding, exciting and famous atmospheric Conference facilities excellent travel connections and accommodation.
