An Eco-Village is a human-scale, full-featured settlement, in which human activities are harmlessly integrated into the natural world in a way that is supportive of healthy human development and can be successfully continued into the indefinite future.

May 2007 International Permaculture Convergence/Conference Brazil www.ipc8.org
Please go to website to sign up for updates You will need to have a PDC to attend the Convergence

Greening our Economy with the Principles of Permaculture

Permaculture is an ecological design science for creating efficient, productive, and self-sustaining systems that serve human communities and evolve into dynamic and regenerative relationships with the surrounding environment. As such, the promise of Permaculture extends far beyond food production systems to our entire economy. How we can use the principles of permaculture to green the global economy will be the theme of the 2007 Permaculture Convergence in São Paulo, Brazil. By linking the Permaculture concept to the emerging field of green economics we can begin defining what a sustainable global economy might look like and how it can be practically adapted to ensure that human welfare and ecological imperatives are rooted at the center of the model. The theories and language of green economics provide sustainable policies with a compelling argument couched in the powerful language of money and economics.

The Conference will host international speakers who will present plenaries, workshops and case studies that are directed towards responding to the immediate challenges facing a world that must decide its course. Their work will highlight public policy requirements and the active participation of the business community necessary to encourage sustainable economies at the local, state, and national level. Successful banking strategies, business and innovations will be the three panels during which the themes of global environmental markets, micro-financing, green accounting, certification, complementary currencies and carbon credit exchange will be presented.
