John,

TOMORROW, The American Sustainable Business Council and Social Venture Circle invite you to join social entrepreneur, environmentalist and investor, Jan Morgan as she talks with Costa Rica’s Luis Daniel Gonzalez, an award-winning Ph.D economist, lawyer, developer, and entrepreneur, and Estefanía Vincenti Martinez, Operations Coordinator of the Jungle Project. Luis Daniel is known for his sustainable development efforts, including major infrastructure projects on the Nicoya Peninsula, public-private partnerships to regenerate contaminated rivers, and software development benefiting public education in Latin America. Estefania is working with regenerative agriculture, rural development, and the improvement of farming families’ livelihoods through inclusive empowerment.

Learn what Luis Daniel thinks about Costa Rica’s reputation as a pioneer in the protection of peace and nature. Bring your questions and get Luis Daniel’s take on how Costa Rica plans to turn pledges into solid policies with a detailed plan to decarbonize its economy by 2050. Hear what Estefanía has to say about why improving the livelihoods of farming communities saves lives.

Costa Rica’s message is that sustainability and growth can—and must—go hand-in-hand. Is this really possible?
