Results, challenges, and consequences from the December 2014 Summit, where 120 people from 40 countries met for the first International Ecovillage Summit in Senegal, sponsored by the German Foreign Ministry, and organised by GEN International.
GEN President Kosha Joubert stated, “GEN already reaches about 10,000 villages. However, the time has come to support many more. In order to do so, GEN is building bridges between ecovillages, the UN, governments, corporations, and universities.” In Senegal, 100 villages have already been equipped with ecovillage techniques, and 500 ecovillages are planned by 2018, with the goal being to transform every second village of the country into an ecovillage.
