GUEST SPEAKER:
For over 40 years, Glenn Page has been working on coastal/ocean/ watershed issues at the interface of science, policy and practice. A restoration ecologist by training, his research and practice has been focused on understanding complex social-ecological systems and how to enable broader engagement in the process of large-scale change and transformations toward more sustainable forms of development. He was the founding Director of Conservation at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, where Vice President Gore officially recognized him as an Environmental Hero. Currently, Glenn is the President/CEO of SustainaMetrix and founder of COBALT (Collaborative for Bioregional Action Learning and Transformation) which are both focused on “navigating in the Anthropocene”. He has served as a
pioneer in the field of assessment and measurement, by developing frameworks for understanding governance response to coastal ecosystem change and how to co-create transformation pathways on a bioregional scale. Glenn is now leading an international process to transform the use of digitals twins for bioregional regeneration with partners from the Stockholm Resilience Centre as well as a long list of partners across the globe.
