Location: Kulturpart Zürich, Pfingstweidstrasse 16, 8005 Zürich.
Background
Sustainable Development is not a ‹nice to have› or directive to report on, it’s the very backbone of human and earth common future. Since Rachel Carson (1962), the Club of Rome (1972) and Brundtland (1987) Sustainable Development as evolved in manifold, its however still overused and underdefined. After the SDGs were mainstreaming Sustainable Development from 2015 onward, it dramatically fall off the global agenda early 2025. Meanwhile the ‹undercurrent› stays vibrant but explores new attitudes and directions to work with the new geo-political realities. Are we at the end or a new beginning of a socio-ecological era? A masterclass about the history and future of the Club of Rome and SEKEM in Egypt, will shape the ground for the Round Table Evening. An informal dinner will create exchange and network opportunities for all participants.
This event is offered by the World Goetheanum Association, its partners, and the Section for Agriculture at the Goetheanum in collaboration with the Club of Rome and SEKEM.
