Regardless of how one views the scientific or political debates around climate change, there is no doubt that we are living in a world of increasing population and dwindling resources.  The issue though is not whether there will be enough water, food, energy or other resources to sustain us, but whether there will be enough leaders in time to actively work on the issues facing us - environmentally, economically and socially.  As meeting and event planners, do we have a responsibility to integrate triple bottom line thinking and acting into our event process?
