Getting to a Sustainable 2050?

A presentation by Robert E. Horn

 

The World Business Council website describes the Vision 2050 project as…”…a study which describes a pathway leading to a global population of some 9 billion people living well, within the resource limits of the planet by 2050. The report was released at the 2010 World CEO Forum in New Delhi, India.

 

 

Why Vision 2050 ?

Vision 2050 addressed thought-provoking questions like:

  • What would a vision of a sustainable future look like?
  • What are the pathways and solutions for achieving sustainability?
  • What does this say for the changes needed?
  • What are the risks to achieving this “sustainable” future?
  • What are the dilemmas we must address to move forward?
  • What are the robust actions, policies and investments needed to move rapidly onto a sustainable pathway?
  • …and what is the role of business “
