Conference
Summary (138 KB)
The
issue of "Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns"
has gained a new impetus in international debates as a result of
the World
Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002. The
states now face the challenge of fleshing out the "10-Year-Framework
of Programmes" by integrating programme content at their
respective national levels.
Germany
can refer to a multitude of approaches and initiatives to promote
sustainable development. Nevertheless, new ideas are necessary in
order to implement sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Against
this background, the German
Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety
and the Federal
Environmental Agency are hosting the conference "Sustainable
Consumption- and Production Patterns - National Dialogue on
the Follow-up of the World Summit for Sustainable Development"
in Berlin which aims at developing perspectives and new impetus
for the promotion of sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The
conference language is German.
The
participation in the conference is free.
More
information on the conference is available on the German
website only.
