Whether he is in the forest of Brazil or in the halls of the United Nations, CI’s Glenn Prickett has forged connections between major international corporations and community-based conservation efforts across the globe to support sustainable resource management.  Prickett has just completed an assignment with the UN Foundation, where he worked with representatives from around the world to prepare for the negotiations in Copenhagen.   He will talk about visionary nations that are leading the way by considering all land use issues as they address climate change:   balancing the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing tropical deforestation and degrading agricultural practices, while at the same time addressing the real need to double food production to feed growing populations.
