Tuesday and Wednesday May 1 - 2, 2012 Drawing Room - Château Laurier Ottawa, Ontario Mardi et mercredi Le 1er et 2 mai, 2012 Salle Drawing - Château Laurier Ottawa, Ontario Building on Rio+20: Canada’s Role and Priorities in a Global Green Economy A two-day conference to examine the policy and economic dimensions of Canada in a global green economy Presented by Sustainable Prosperity and the Institute of the Environment of The University of Ottawa Château Laurier, Ottawa Tuesday and Wednesday, May 1-2 , 2012 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the Rio Earth Summit. The 1992 Earth Summit, attended by more than 100 Heads of Government, was intended to chart a course for global sustainable development with the aim of combatting climate change and protecting biodiversity. This June, Brazil will host Rio+20. While this meeting will be a stocktaking opportunity, it will also be forward-looking, with the Green Economy taking centre stage. The Green Economy has been described by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as “one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. In its simplest expression, a green economy can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.” The Green Economy is increasingly on the global agenda as decision-makers grapple with multiple pressures – a warming climate, ocean acidification, deforestation, growing human population and loss of biodiversity – all of which could threaten long term prosperity, sustainability of the current global economy and the well-being of the planet’s citizens. As the world’s leaders prepare to gather in Rio de Janeiro on this important milestone, the Green Economy will be a key to ensuring global sustainability, and this represents both challenges and opportunities for Canada. This two day conference will examine Canada’s role in a global Green Economy by: • taking stock of Canada’s efforts to build a low carbon, Green Economy as an essential strategy for sustainable development on a global basis. • providing a cross-cutting view of the policy, economic and governance challenges faced by Canada and other nations, in the context of Rio +20. • identifying leading practices and solutions as well as challenges in transitioning to a Green Economy. Conference Overview: The first day of the Conference will emphasize the importance of building a Green Economy, in Canada and around the world – what it means to build a Green Economy, how we can measure Canada’s progress and overall contribution to a global Green Economy? What are the opportunities and the responsibilities of leaders in industry, government, communities and civil society? The second day will examine Canadian accomplishments, their global significance and future challenges for Canada in its engage- ment in sustainable development issues and practices. A Green Economy will be built on the strength of Canada’s natural resources, its people and our innovative capacity. What does this mean for policy makers and organizational leaders in Canada? How will Canada position itself as a global player in the Green Economy to ensure environmental sustainability? Sur la lancée de Rio+20 : le rôle du Canada et ses priorités dans une économie verte mondiale Conférence sur les dimensions politiques et économiques du rôle joué par le Canada dans une économie mondiale verte La Prospérité durable et l’Institut de l’Environnement de l’Université d’Ottawa Château Laurier, Ottawa Mardi et mercredi 1er et 2 mai 2012 En 2012, on célèbre le 20e anniversaire du Sommet de la Terre à Rio de Janeiro, qui s’est tenu en 1992 et a réuni plus d’une centaine de chefs d’État. Le Sommet devait montrer la voie vers le développement durable à l’échelle mondiale, afin de combattre les changements climatiques et de protéger la biodiversité. En juin, le Brésil accueillera Rio+20. Ce sera l’occasion de faire le bilan, mais également de tourner nos regards vers un avenir où l’économie verte occupera une place centrale. Le Programme des Nations Unies pour l’environnement décrit l’économie verte comme « une économie qui entraîne une amélioration du bien-être humain et de l’équité sociale tout en réduisant de manière significative les risques environnementaux et la pénurie de ressources. Sous sa forme la plus simple, elle se caractérise par un faible taux d’émission de carbone, l’utilisation rationnelle des ressources et l’inclusion sociale ». L’économie verte figure de plus en plus à l’ordre du jour des décideurs de la planète, qui font face à de multiples défis : réchauffement climatique, acidification des océans, déforestation, pollution générée par l’activité humaine et perte de biodiversité, qui constituent une longue série de menaces à la prospérité à long terme et au développement durable, tant pour l’économie mondiale que pour le bien-être des habitants de la planète. À la veille de la rencontre Rio+20 pour marquer cet important anniversaire, le Canada doit prendre note des possibilités offertes par l’économie verte, garante du développement durable, et des obstacles qui se dressent elle. Cette conférence consacrera deux journées à l’examen du rôle du Canada dans une économie mondiale verte. Pour ce faire : • on dressera le bilan des efforts du Canada pour diminuer les émissions de carbone en vue de favoriser l’émergence d’une économie verte, stratégie essentielle de développement durable à l’échelle mondiale; • dans le contexte de Rio+20, on donnera un aperçu transversal des problèmes rencontrés par le Canada et les autres Nations sur le plan de la politique, de l’économie et de la gouvernance; • on mettra en lumière les principales pratiques et solutions adoptées pour faire face aux défis que pose la transition vers une économie verte. Survol de la conférence : La première journée de la conférence portera sur l’importance de l’économie verte au Canada et dans le monde. Une économie verte, ça veut dire quoi au juste? Comment mesurer les progrès accomplis par le Canada et sa contribution globale en la matière? Quelles sont les responsabilités des entreprises, des gouvernements, des communautés et de la société civile? La seconde journée se penchera sur le progrès accompli par le Canada et sa signification globale. On examinera également les problèmes auxquels le Canada fera face au cours des prochaines années et son engagement envers le développement durable, en théorie et en pratique. Une économie verte prendra appui sur les ressources naturelles et les ressources humaines du Canada et sur notre capacité à innover. Quelles en sont les implications pour les responsables des politiques et pour la classe dirigeante au Canada? Comment le Canada trouvera-t-il sa place en tant qu’acteur global dans l’économie verte, afin d’assurer le développement durable?

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

  • Steven Rockefeller Private Papers

    Steven Rockefeller Private Papers

    Maurice Strong and the Earth Charter Steven C. Rockefeller Throughout Maurice Strong’s extraordinary career as a leader of the international environmental and sustainable development movement, one fundamental challenge that he persistently en- deavored to address was achieving international agreement on the ethical values and basic principles that should guide peo- ple and governments in protecting nature and building a better world for all. The challenge involved constructing for internation- al sustainable development law the kind of foundation that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides human rights law. Strong’s efforts in this regard began in 1972 with organizing and overseeing the drafting of the Stockholm Declaration as the Secretary-General of the first United Nations Intergovernmental Conference on the Environment. His endeavors culminated during the 1990s with the Earth Charter initiative that he started as Secretary-General of the Rio Earth Summit and carried forward as the leader of a path breaking civil society project. I came to know and work with Maurice Strong over a five year period as a participant in the Earth Charter initiative, first as a member of a steering committee and later as chair of the Earth Charter international drafting committee. It turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. There follow some reflections on Strong’s exceptional, farsighted leadership. When the Secretary-General of the United Nations, U Thant, invited Strong in 1970 to head up the UN Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment, Strong was 40 years old. He had become an accomplished Canadian business leader and was serving as President of the Canadian International Development Agency, which had taken him into the world of international relations that had long been a special interest.

    The International Development Research Centre A Brief History G. Newkirk, IDRC Green, IDRC F. IDRC C. Sanger, Cover photos, IDRC: Peter Bennett Lorra Thompson Daniel Buckles Neil McKee Yves Beaulieu The International Development Research Centre A Brief History “This is an idea whose time has come.” The sentiments expressed by Maurice Strong on the creation of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) in 1970 echoed those of many distinguished persons in the decades before the birth of this new Canadian entity. For some years, it had become apparent that the spectacular benefits science and technology were bringing to the rich countries were not reaching the developing world. In 1935, after taking note of the global imbalance in scientific develop- ment, eminent biologist Julian Huxley called for a truly scientific approach to the problem of development. United States President Harry Truman declared in his 1949 inaugural address that it was time to mobilize science for worldwide development. He was convinced that the technology that had worked for the devel- oped countries would provide the same benefits when transplanted to underdeveloped regions. 1 In the mid-1960s, the UN Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Technology to Development observed that “Only a very small fraction of the world’s scientific and technical resources is devoted to the problems of the developing countries; the overwhelming propor- tion of the world’s intellectual capital, as well as its physical capital, is applied toward … the highly developed countries.” And in her 1966 benchmark essay, Spaceship Earth, British economist, journalist, and educator Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson) declared that “… mankind is … a single, equal and fraternal community” and that “… new technological resources, properly deployed, will conquer ancient shortage.” By the late 1960s, a climate of disillusion and distrust surrounded for- eign aid programs.

DEVELOPMENTS The United Nations Environment Programme After a Decade: the Nairobi Session of a Special Character, May 1981 I. INTRODUCTION The spring of 1982 marked the tenth anniversary of what may have been the most significant global event in environmental history: the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stock- holm in June 1972. The passing of a decade was celebrated in May 1982 by another conference, titled Session of a Special Character. This session was held in Nairobi, Kenya, headquarters for the United Nations Envi- ronment Programme (UNEP), the agency created by the U.N. in response to the Stockholm Conference. This Development looks briefly at the creation of UNEP, its purpose and structure, and then focuses on the Nairobi Conference, its evaluation of the past decade of UNEP activity, and prospects for the next decade.
