Dear colleagues and friends,

I urge you to spend five minutes checking this out!

Please consider and FORWARD widely this announcement for a rather unusual
conference open to participation, including in the discussions, to all.

The conference is entitled "The World in 2050: Creating/Imagining Just
Climate Futures,"" and it opened today at:

http://ehc.english.ucsb.edu/?page_id=14895#panels

There are 17 panels, with 51 speakers covering such topics as oceans,
cli-fi, cities, agriculture and food, technology, climate action, climate
justice, and many others, often intersecting since this changes everything
means everything affects everything else, and part of the challenge is to
figure out how, and to use that knowledge strategically, to change things
in ways that ripple outward, long and slow, or sudden and flashingly?

The keynote talks are by Bill McKibben, Margaret Klein Salamon, Wen
Stephenson, and Erik Assadourian (we hope that a talk by Patrick Bond will
soon be up as well!).

Our goal is to model a conference with a nearly nonexistent carbon
footprint.

But beyond that, as you will see, we hope to build relationships and a
knowledge-action network of scholars and activists for climate justice and
radical social transformation in the face of humanity's greatest threat.

Thanks!

John
