International panel recommends redirecting the world community toward sustainable growth

erspective from eight countries, according to Dr. James D. Englehardt, professor in the University of Miami College of Engineering and a participant at the Round Table.

"This opportunity to meet and learn from colleagues from diverse fields and cultural perspectives always triggers new ideas, generates new questions and creates the possibility for future collaborations among cross disciplines," Englehardt says.

The participants put together specific recommendations on a number of strategies including the following:

  • Strategies that seek to synthesize the best indigenous and historical knowledge and practices from traditional cultures with the latest technical improvements based on democratic decisions. The intent is to take the best from each regional and culturally appropriate sector to maximize the benefit of all and to minimize detrimental impacts on the earth and humans.
  • That energy, manufacturing and waste cycles should, as much as possible, conform to closed loops with the primary goal of minimizing waste and preventing pollution. This should include minimizing the energy, pollution and waste costs incurred by current inefficient transportation systems.
  • Rally science and technology experts to advocate that government leaders enact stronger and more cohesive climate change policy and strategy.
  • Support a mix of local, regional and global action that involves the active and democratic involvement of all stakeholders and shifts the balance toward data-driven scientific knowledge and public participation away from special interest manipulation.
  • Youth today are growing up more environmentally conscious; institutions should foster and fund stronger curricula of educational institutions that reflect and advance this interest as they inherit the earth.

The Round Table Panel convened to discuss the Copenhagen Protocol included experts from Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa, Sweden, U.K., U.S.A. a
