I used to work in this building and now it is one of many images we’ll expect to see when Gary Braasch kicks off Ecocity 2008 in San Francisco with a 2 hour slideshow and presentation.

Gary Braash’s images get at the heart of the climate change crisis, documenting receding glaciers, rising tides and tardy songbirds.  In line with the focus of the Ecocity World Summit, Braash will present his global past and present photographic record of climate change with emphasis on cities, their contributions to the problems of the world’s environment, and whole systems initiatives for change.

Get ready to change the world!

Throughout Earth Day Week, April 22-26, in San Francisco, the Ecocity World Summit (7th International Ecocity Conference) will convene an international community of inspired change-makers, courageous individuals addressing problems of the world’s environment with thoughtful long-range solutions that are truly sustainable, ecologically healthy and socially just. The International Ecocity Conference Series brings together the key innovators, decision makers, technologists, businesses and organizations shaping the conversation around ecological and sustainable city, town and village design, planning and development. We intend to put these issues on the economic and environmental agenda for 2008 and beyond.

Ecocity World Summit 2008 Themes:

  • People — population, health, equity, and access.
  • Nature — protecting and restoring the planet’s living systems and agricultural lands.
  • Sustainable Development — land use, transportation, architecture and infrastructure.
  • Economies & Technologies — building the supporting markets, businesses and technologies.
  • Incentives & Support Structures — role of government, organizations, institutions and individuals.
