Ottawa: Greening China
February 6th: Ted Manning will give a presentation entitled Greening China - Living in Interesting Times.
In a few decades, China has moved from a closed, agrarian backwater to one of the largest and
dynamic economies on the planet. Its journey to modernization has been perhaps the most rapid
in history, and a pressure cooker for all the issues of industrialization, population,
pollution and social change concentrated in a very short period. At the same time,
China is doing more than almost
all other countries combined to combat desertification, to clean up pollution and to control
population growth. It now has the world’s largest green industry sector dominating world production
of solar panels.
Ted Manning has been working on sustainable development for more than 30 years,
with projects in more than 40 countries and has been active in China for a long period.

Warsaw: Political Leadership Now And Soon:Selected Challenges
February 13th: The Polish Association for the Club of Rome is organizing an event about political
leadership.
Frequently, contemporary politicians, loftily called the political class,
are characterised with a
Byzantine attitude to politics. These tendencies have been strongly
underlined in 2003 by the former president of Germany, Richard von
Weizsäcker, who used the expression of the rule of political mediocrity.
Societies create politicians guided by their own interests, or mundane
performers, or simply, party activists, and not politicians dealing with
ideas, having the sense of their mission and willing to be submitted to the
judgments of the public opinion. The main aim of majority of them is their
re-election and not involvement in the significant activities. Hence the
need for the debate on leadership currently and in the predictable future.
The event will be divided into three general parts:
- short methodological introduction to the theory of leadership and its
current weknesses (prof. Wawrzyniec Konarski)
- main directions of necessary changes on three levels: global,
transnational, and state (Ms. Agnieszka Durska)
- recapitulation of the Polish Presidency of the European Union as well as
desired tendencies in the sphere of ledership inside the EU (dr Szymon
Bachrynowski).
The event will take place at the Dom Ekonomisty, ul. Nowy Swiat 49, Warszawa
and will start at 16:30.
Barcelona: Laity in Political Life
February 14th: Joan-Francesc Pont Clemente will give a presentation
