Envisioning
the Future Global Environment
General Motors - Greening of Industry Network Workshop.
Warren, Michigan USA, November 13-14, 2000.
In 1998, the
Greening of Industry Network and General Motors R&D began a cooperative
envisioning project to develop a shared understanding of the forces of global
environment change in 2025. The initial phase of the project identified
36 forces of environmental change themes. The first phase examined the relative
importance of these 36 themes and the attention given to them by thought
leaders from around the world. Initial phase summary, Envisioning
the Global Environment in 2025.
During the
two-day workshop in November 2000, participants from GIN's International
Planning Board and from GM R&D discussed the potential implications
of consumption, technology, and business polices and philosophies in four
different scenarios or future worlds. Two surveys on critical global issues
and forces of environmental change provided a valuable source of research
for the workshop. In addition to gaining insights into how major issues
may evolve differently in the future, the combined group developed implications
and options for GIN to advance an agenda for a positive global environmental
future. Workshop summary: Envisioning the Future
Global Environment: Summary of GM-GIN Workshop, November 13-14,
2000.
