Aspen Environment Forum 02011

The Aspen Environment Forum is a three day conference produced by the Aspen Institute and the National Geographic Society. Held this year from May 30th through June 2nd, the forum "will provide a critical framework for committed voices to address a significant milestone:  A global population of 7 billion and how to reconcile Earth's finite resources with its ability to sustain our expanding human needs."

This year's speakers include Sylvia Earle, Andrew Revkin, Bill McKibben,  and Long Now's own Stewart Brand.

Here's a highlight from 2009 (check out more video highlights here) featuring Nature Conservancy lead scientist M. Sanjayan:
