Last year, in one of the most intense struggles of the three-decade protection campaign, a diverse alliance of environmental organizations and tribes staved off the latest schemes by lobbyists and politicians to open this national treasure to the petroleum industry.

Environmental Victories around the World—Lessons and Inspiration At one time the US was a global leader in protecting the environment. However, a recent study ranked the US 28th in overall environmental performance. Many environmental victories now occur outside this country. For example, courts outside the US have recognized a constitutional right to a healthy environment, and the EU has adopted stronger protections against toxic chemicals. These victories could provide inspiration and models, but most Americans are not aware of them. Explore why such victories are occurring outside the US, how to educate people here, and how we can replicate these victories. SPEAKERS Carla Garcia Zendejas is based in Tijuana, Mexico, where she works with American and Mexican NGOs on cross-border issues such as water and sustainable energy.

Future Taste: The Global Agro-Biodiversity Crisis Agro-biodiversity is the treasure chest that resulted from millennia of creating crop varieties from wild plants, by selecting for different properties in different environments. Modern plant breeding has mined this diversity, but the drive to monoculture is erasing it. Ecological viability requires a return to co-adaptation; so does a future with cultural and culinary variety. Despite pleas from farmers, scientists, chefs, and international institutions, public institutions ignore this biodiversity crisis. We will hear stories of catastrophic loss in the original centers of domestication and of vibrant resistance by indigenous seed savers, and ponder what this means for the taste of everyone’s future. SPEAKERS Gary Nabhan is an internationally renowned ethno-biologist and longtime activist for indigenous agriculture and heirloom seeds. His books include Cultures of Habitat: On Nature, Culture, and Story;Coming Home to Eat: The Sensual Pleasures and Global Politics of Local Foods; and Some Like it Hot: Food, Genes and Cultural Diversity.

The Public and the Environment: Engaged, Enraged, or Indifferent? Oceans are a source of fresh water; diapers are causing landfills to overflow; and our nation gets most of its energy from hydropower. These myths indicate that at a time when Americans face increasingly complex environmental issues, most of the public is uninformed or misinformed—as the above answers to a recent environmental literacy survey amply demonstrate. Equally alarming is that increasing numbers of young people decline to identify themselves as environmentalists.

Think Outside the (Big) Box: Birthing a New Environmental/Community Politics Wal-Mart is a symbol of corporate excess and irresponsibility. Across the nation, alliances of labor, environmentalists, faith-based institutions, and community development and social justice groups have come together to challenge Wal-Mart’s employee, community, and environmental practices. In doing so, they have created both shared visions of community and hard-edged, successful campaigns built on grassroots organizing, effective policy advocacy, and savvy media. Do these state and local victories portend a new environmental politics, rooted in grassroots organizing and new alliances, or are they simply opportunistic campaigns whose participants will ultimately be played off one another? SPEAKERS Sean Dobson left his job in 2000 as advisor for communications and strategy in President Clinton's National Economic Council to help found Progressive Maryland (PM) and the Progressive Maryland Education Fund, working to build power for working families in Maryland.

In addition, Arizona and North Carolina have established commissions to put forward options for reducing emissions. Taken together, these states represent a significant part of the US economy. State policy success is critical to federal policy success as it proves that such policies can succeed, creates a regulatory patchwork that makes a federal policy preferable, and leads to emission reductions. Come explore various roads to state climate action, such as governors’ executive orders, state legislatures, and utility commissions, and hear about the role of state-based grassroots organizations.

Indigenous Approaches to Conservation and Territorial Defense Indigenous peoples worldwide are respected for their success in protecting the environment and biodiversity of their territories. They frequently build alliances with environmentalists to defend their lands from encroachment and destructive development projects. However, these relationships have sometimes disempowered indigenous peoples by excluding them from key decision-making opportunities, circumventing traditional forms of organization, and discrediting indigenous knowledge and management practices in relation to outside conservation strategies. A cross-cultural panel of Latin American indigenous leaders will discuss indigenous approaches to conservation and, with participants, explore ways in which funders and the international conservation community can better understand and support their environmental goals for their territories.

Keeping Score when the Game Is Big and the Players Diverse As environmental challenges become more serious, they also grow more complex. Effective progress on mega-environmental issues requires systemic analysis and multi-stakeholder engagement. Funders are responding with innovative, high-leverage strategies, but when grantmaking and implementation start, new challenges emerge. How can diverse organizations assess progress over time? And how can they use this knowledge to transparently reassess priorities and make course corrections? Participants in RE-AMP, an ambitious and expanding seven-foundation, 30-NGO effort to transform electricity generation in the upper Midwest to reduce pollution and rely more on renewables and efficiency gains, will describe its unique collaboration and together think through solutions to its greatest challenges.
