Greenhorns Quivira Coalition When: 11/13/2013 @ 6:45 am – 11/15/2013 @ 7:45 am Where: Albuquerque NM USA Categories: _Conference_ (http://www.thegreenhorns.net/calendar-2/?ai1ec_cat_ids=73) Begun in 2002, the Annual Conference is the Quivira Coalition's major outreach event of the year, bringing together a diverse group of people who seek both practical and positive solutions. The conference serves as an important forum for the radical center and in the past has explored such topics as Bridging the Urban-Rural Divide, New Agrarians, and in 2012 - How to Feed Nine Billion People from the Ground Up. Now in its twelfth year, the Quivira Conference draws 500 people from all over the West who look to the event to facilitate important partnerships, explore creative differences and create an upbeat forum for productive dialogue. The 2013 Quivira Conference will explore the theme of Inspiring Adaptation. From prehistoric times to the present, human societies have successfully adapted to the challenges of a changing West, including periods of severe drought, limitations created by scarce resources and shifting cultural and economic pressures. Now, the American West is entering an era of unprecedented change brought on by new climate realities, which will test our capacity for adaptation as well as challenge the resilience of the region's native flora and fauna. It is therefore paramount that we find and share inspiring ideas and practical strategies that will help all of the region's inhabitants adapt to a rapidly changing world. We will hear from scientists, ranchers, farmers, conservationists, urban planners and others who have bright ideas and important tools to share from their adaptation toolbox. This year's amazing line-up of speakers includes a co-winner of theNobel Peace Prize, winners of a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, a MacArthur "Genius" Grant, a Pew Fellow in Conservation and Environment, a winner of the Stewart L. Udall Award for Conservation, a Guggenheim Fellow, two Society for Range Management Award winners, and six Clarence Burch and Radical Center Award winners from the Quivira Coalition! -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
