TRACK SUMMARY
Green 2.0 fully integrates people and planet into the whole solution. Green 2.0 business products/services are good throughout their entire lifecycle and good for employees and community stakeholders, not just “less bad” than alternatives. Green 2.0 conservation solutions create ways for ecosystems and humans to thrive together, not just in separate areas. Learn where opportunity is emerging, where there are challenges, and where Green 2.0 is moving to scale and become mainstream.

INTRODUCING TRACK CURATOR: LIZ KRUEGER
My name is Liz Krueger, curator of the Green 2.0 track. I’m a mid-career professional and student of sustainability working on my own career transition to Green 2.0.
I love seeing the progress in solutions, products and services that are not just “less bad” than alternatives, but come together as sustainable and restorative of people and planet. I hope that by engaging the SOCAP audience with these Green 2.0 examples, more will emerge and scale, so that holistic sustainable solutions will become mainstream.
TRACK SESSIONS
Linkages: Investing, Business and Conservation
Businesses and conservation groups are shifting from “better products” and “preserving nature” to more holistic systems thinking about solutions. Businesses work deep in their supply chains and consider employee and community stakeholders in their practices. Conservation groups seek solutions that provide for humans in the natural environment. Investors play a role in supporting both. Hear from Jeffrey Hollender, Diana Propper and Ken Wilson what is spurring these changes and what’s ahead.

Seeding Systems Change: A Look Toward Green 3.0
How do we move beyond considering the effect of one solution to seeing how myriad solutions interact in a system? How do we look at a sprawling problem, created through chain reactions of consumers, farmers, policymakers, scientists and others, to understand-what’s missing? These panelists have stepped up to grapple with difficult questions, looking past alluring “silver bullet” approaches to problem solving. They have embraced more challenging, nuanced and hopefully, more effective approaches. Join us to hear about their different approaches to hack the system.
