What’s going on in January and further down the track…

There are many events coming up in 2010. It is almost a job in itself to be on top on all the deadlines for participating. Below is a little sample of what one may find interesting, if interested in planning.

Tuesday January 12

Thursday January 14

Global Warring: How Environmental, Economic, and Political Crises Will Redraw the World Map

Signature Lecture with Cleo Paskal
Thursday, January 14 – 7:00 p.m.
CIGI – 57 Erb Street West, Waterloo
Free Admisission, RSVP online at www.paskal.eventbrite.com

With the world watching the UN conference on climate change in Copenhagen, geo-political expert Cleo Paskal looks at how environmental changes will affect more than just the weather. We live in interesting times. The biggest Western economic institutions are crumbling, what were once marginalized voices are now dominating international negotiations, and touchstone climate events are failing. Everywhere you look economic, geopolitical and environmental assumptions are being shaken to the core. The world is changing. Fast.
