GLOBE 2004 Leading Enviro-Business Conference: March 31 &endash; April 2, 2004
Over the past decade, the GLOBE Series has emerged as one of the most well-known and prestigious business and environment events in the world. Senior business executives and government officials from over 75 nations meet every two years at this exciting forum to exchange ideas, cultivate partnerships and do business. GLOBE 2004 will centre around three major conference themes; Corporate Sustainability, Energy & Climate Change, and The Business of Building Better Cities. In looking at corporate sustainability, GLOBE 2004 will address the challenge of maintaining profitable business operations in markets that are changing daily in the face of new social, shareholder, consumer and government demands for ecological sustainability and corporate accountability. Energy and Climate Change sessions will provide a comprehensive update on all climate change issues. Participants will discuss the emerging priorities for climate change related technological development, realistic strategies for emission-reduction and credit trading initiatives, and how to identify and seize the enormous business opportunities associated with climate change. In The Business of Building Better Cities session GLOBE 2004 looks at incorporating sustainability principles into decisions and processes for the design and construction of buildings and urban transportation systems; in land use planning and governance; and in energy and water conservation programs and systems for cities. An international crossroads and marketplace, the GLOBE Series, focused on developing the business of the environment, serves as an important global platform for Canada to showcase its capabilities in environmental management. GLOBE 2004 will be held at the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre March 31 to April 2, 2004. For further information visit: www.globe2004.com Reference:, George Affleck
