Workshop with Declan Kennedy,

309 East Campus Santa Barbara 721 Cliff Drive
An Eco-Village is a human-scale, full-featured settlement, in which human 
activities are harmlessly integrated into the natural world in a way that 
is supportive of healthy human development and can be successfully 
continued into the indefinite future. Eco-Village design is based mainly on 
permaculture principles and is a way of thinking to create an abundant 
future. By conscious design, we can reverse desertification, make 
agriculture ecologically sound, reforest the planet and restore community 
life in rural and urban areas.

Prof. Declan Kennedy www.declan.de is an architect, city planer and 
permaculture designer and lives in Lebensgarten Ecovillage Germany. 
Professor of Urban Design and Infrastructure at the Architectural 
Department of the Technical University of Berlin. He has been teaching and 
practicing ecological architectural design since 1970 and permaculture 
design since 1982, both in various universities.He did research on 
implemented examples of main stream ecological settlements in Europe for 
the European Academy of the Urban Environment, Berlin. European Secretariat 
of the Global Eco-village Network (GEN) and is Founding Chairman of the GEN 
Board and Advisory Board Chairperson of Gaia University www.gaiauniversity.org

May 2007 International Permaculture Convergence/Conference Brazil www.ipc8.org
Please go to website to sign up for updates You will need to have a PDC to 
attend the Convergence

Greening our Economy with the Principles of Permaculture

Permaculture is an ecological design science for creating efficient, 
productive, and self-sustaining systems that serve human communities and 
evolve into dynamic and regenerative relationships with the surrounding 
environment. As such, the promise of Permaculture extends far beyond food 
production systems to our entire economy. How we can use the principles of 
permaculture to green the global economy will be the theme of the 2007 
Permaculture Convergence in São Paulo, Brazil. By linking the Permaculture 
concept to the emerging field of green economics we can begin defining what 
a sustainable global economy might look like and how it can be practically 
adapted to ensure that human welfare and ecological imperatives are rooted 
at the center of the model. The theories and language of green economics 
provide sustainable policies with a compelling argument couched in the 
powerful language of money and economics.

The Conference will host international speakers who will present plenaries, 
workshops and case studies that are directed towards responding to the 
immediate challenges facing a world that must decide its course. Their work 
will highlight public policy requirements and the active participation of 
the business community necessary to encourage sustainable economies at the 
local, state, and national level. Successful banking strategies, business 
and innovations will be the three panels during which the themes of global 
environmental markets, micro-financing, green accounting, certification, 
complementary currencies and carbon credit exchange will be presented.
