For the last four years, the Aspen Institute and National Geographic have joined forces and partnered on the Aspen Environment Forum to gather a broad spectrum of key thought leaders for rich and engaging dialogue on the challenges of reconciling Earth’s finite resources with its ability to sustain our expanding human needs. Provocative and lively discussions have covered a wide range of issues over the years including population growth, sustainability, climate change, water scarcity, clean technology and the impacts they have on the economy, security and human well-being.
This next year will mark the 5th Anniversary of the Aspen Environment Forum and promises to be a powerful exchange that will address key topics that include forests, cities, food security, energy and transportation.
