Greening of Industry Conference Registration
Partnerships for Sustainable Development
12th International Conference of the Greening of Industry Network
Hong Kong, November 7–10, 2004
JOIN US IN BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Our Conference Challenge for 2004: Creating societies based on the
principles of sustainable development demands that business, government, and
civil society all play roles in the process. However, acting alone they are
likely to achieve considerably less than working in cooperation, providing
collaborative leadership. Collaboration and partnerships between businesses
and other actors are going to be crucial in promoting economic,
environmental, and social improvements that contribute to sustainable
development.
We're especially honored this year to announce special workshops presented
by UNESCO and United Nations University on Education for Sustainable
Development. The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable
Development (ESD) will begin in January 2005, and the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is the lead
agency for the promotion of the Decade. UNESCO will begin a structured
dialogue session at GIN2004 with a presentation on UNESCO's strategy for
implementing the Decade with a focus on the importance of a partnership
approach. UNESCO/UNU will then lead a discussion on the dynamics and
potentials for public private partnerships in developing and delivering
campaigns on education for sustainable development.
Over 200 presentations are scheduled already for GIN2004, the latest and
best in case studies, new business models, policies, research, and education
for sustainable development — coming from over 40 countries — more news
to follow on the program. For an early look, check out the preliminary

Compact, EMAN/Asia Pacific, Industrial Ecology, Organizational Change,
Entrepreneurship, and many more.
