Ceres Annual Conferences
Geeta Aiyer, a sustainable investing entrepreneur and Founder and President of Boston Common Asset Management, has received the seventh-annual Joan Bavaria Award for Building Sustainability into the Capital Markets.
The award announcement was made at the Ceres Conference 2015.
Sustaining agricultural productivity amidst population growth, climate change, water scarcity, and declining soil health presents a daunting global challenge. California, currently in its fourth year of severe drought, serves as ground zero for these unprecedented pressures on farmers and supply chains. This plenary uses California as a case study to highlight key strategies and tough choices for feeding the world's seven billion people while preserving the planet.
Speakers include Brooke Barton (Senior Program Director, Water Program, Ceres), Dennis Dimick (Executive Editor, Environment, National Geographic Magazine), Janet Ranganathan (Vice President for Science and Research, World Resources Institute), and J. Miles Reiter (Chairman, Driscoll's Inc.).
Dame Ellen MacArthur, a record-breaking yachtswoman, shares her inspiring journey. Her solo global sailing experience underscored the critical need for resource management, mirroring humanity's broader challenge.
She transitioned into an international champion for the circular economy. This system change advocates retaining the value of vital, finite resources, moving away from one-way consumption models.
Her presentation is followed by a Q&A with Jack Ehnes, CEO of the California State Teachers Retirement System and a Ceres Board member.
