June
24-28, 2009- I attended the Tallberg Foundation Forum in Tallberg, Sweden. The theme of this year's Tallberg Forum was "How on earth
can we live together, within the planetary boundaries?". Over
400 leaders from business and politics, thinkers, scientists, artists
and entrepreneurs will gather for four days to address global issues of
urgency and common interest, through conversation, reflection and
working sessions. As
the international community responds to a global crisis that appears to
be worsening daily, strong voices must help build a common
understanding of the deep underlying problems. The global situation
today is one of converging crises – economic, environmental political and social, while nations and sectors show diverging interests. The emerging pathway out of the many challenges of today must, in the end, be in the interests of the whole.
