From crisis to cooperation
November 7

Online event
All attendees will receive a meeting invite
Summary
Why do we create crises and then discourage the cooperation that could have prevented them? Why do we only cooperate and help each other after a catastrophe has happened? Cooperation and volunteering for group work isn’t a valued part of our society, especially when it comes to our common resources.
Now is the time to focus on activities that will benefit everyone. Carrying capacity has become more urgent as the Covid-19 pandemic has shown how fragile our economy is. We’ve already seen supply chain disruptions, shortages of natural resources and loss of biodiversity. Can your region support the needs of your community? This conference will give you a deeper understanding of carrying capacity as it relates to vital resources like food, water and energy.
Our keynote speakers and our team chairs talk about how their work on carrying capacity can lead to greater group cooperation and sustainability.
