Fourth
Annual Regional Sustainable Development Forum: Resources for Achieving
Sustainable Development
Monday, September 22, 2003
8:00 AM - 5:30 PM MIT, Cambridge, MA
SSNE
is pleased to co-sponsor this year's Fourth Annual Regional Sustainable
Development Forum, organized by New Ecology Inc. The Forum will
focus on the "Resources for Achieving Sustainable Development."
This forum will offer people interested in learning about and adopting
sustainable development projects:
- Access to technical assistance and funding resources.
· Heightened awareness of how sustainable development principles
can be applied.
· Know-how about implementation of sustainable development
projects.
· Understanding of the costs and benefits associated with
sustainable development.
· Platform for ongoing dialogue and networking
There will be three tracks based on community scale: Local/City,
Regional/State, and National/International - each highlighting case
studies as catalysts for discussions. The workshops will strongly
emphasize audience participation with over an hour of open discussion
in each 2 hour session. These interactive discussions will allow
participants to maximize the "resources" present in the
room as well as explore additional ones. There will also be poster
sessions where attendees can browse programs and services available
for supporting sustainable development.
Paul Lipke of SSNE will be facilitating an intro session in
the morning entitled : "Sustainability 101: Learn the Basics
& How to Apply These Ideas to Your Challenges"
