On or around the first of every month, 2nd Green Revolution updates the green events calendar for the coming month. Last November we began including a post highlighting some of the intriguing events for that month. This month has fewer events, but some intriguing themes have emerged in the post-Copenhagen world. In the United States, there are two conferences dealing with carbon caps and emissions.

Several international conferences dealing with sustainability and clean energy are also on the horizon this month. Here is a sampling of a few domestic and international symposiums that caught our eye.
