Seeking themes for The WorldWatch Institute’s State of the World report 2009
Posted in Research, Visions by fedwards on September 22nd, 2007
The WorldWatch Institute is seeking a theme for it’s State of the World report 2009.
For the past several years, themed editions have helped frame the annual State of the World report around the big ideas that will speed the transition to an environmentally sustainable world.
Each year, the Worldwatch Institute staff comes together to brainstorm the most important stories to include in the annual assessment of progress toward healthier societies, more equitable economies, and a cleaner environment.
Topics that have been highlighted include consumption, global security, the rise of China and India on the world scene, and the unprecedented demographic shift that will make the world predominantly urban for the first time in history. (Each of these reports can be ordered from the WorldWatch website). Next year, WorldWatch is planning to focus on the innovations needed to create a sustainable global economy.
