During the "Unpacking Green Growth" conference organized in part by the ASU Wrigley Institute, the LuAn Declaration on Green Development in Poor Regions was released in a farmer's house in LuAn City - a poor region in the middle of China. According to the LuAn Declaration, human society is transitioning from the Industrial Era to the Internet Era. This transition is dramatically impacting the traditional development paradigm, and makes it possible for poor regions to leapfrog to an internet-based green economy of the future.
