Lester R Brown meets with Swedish climate advocates PDF Print E-mail

In early September the Swedish climate advocates met up with award winning author and leader of the research foundation Earth Policy Institute, Lester R Brown. The holder of 23 honorary degrees was in Sweden to launch his latest book "Plan B 3.0" but took time out of his busy schedule for an inspirational discussion on realistic solutions to the climate crisis. During the meeting, the advocates presented their three Challenges and received direct feedback and ideas for development from the expert speaker. Overall it was an exciting opportunity for dialogue with "one of the world’s most influential thinkers" (Washington Post).
