The 2011 Aspen Environment Forum presented by the Aspen Institute in partnership with National Geographic will provide a critical framework for committed voices to address a significant milestone: A global population of 7 billion and how to reconcile Earth’s finite resources with its ability to sustain our expanding human needs.
In the spirit of the Aspen Institute, our mission is to expand and enhance your views on key environmental issues and further your understanding of the complexities of the challenges we all face, through an extraordinary rich exchange, across a wide array of important environmental topics and ideas. By bringing informed dialogue to our campus, we aim to challenge and advance the thinking of all invited speakers and attendees, and to build new levels of understanding that bridge cultural and political differences.
The Aspen Environment Forum will take place on the Aspen Institute's Aspen Meadows campus. Evening events will also take place in the City of Aspen.

How we are trying to make this event "green":
Reducing Our Impact
In an effort to reduce the Aspen Environment Forum’s environmental impact, the Institute and National Geographic have teamed with NativeEnergy to offset all carbon emissions generated by attendees’ travel to the Forum and with the City of Aspen’s ZGreen Program to find ways to minimize the event’s carbon footprint.
Through NativeEnergy’s carbon offsetting program, the Aspen Environment Forum will offset all emissions generated by Forum participants’ travel to and from Aspen. The offsets will fund Native American, farmer-owned, community-based renewable energy projects that create social, economic, and environmental benefits. These projects help to build economies and communities, for people who come from long traditions of valuing and appreciating the gifts of nature and the environment.
