Green Growth, Sustainable Communities and the Circular Economy International Workshop

This workshop is part of an international collaboration between Dalian University in China, The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ in Canada, Imperial College London in the UK and the International Academy of Ecology and Life Protection Science in Russia. The collaboration explores strategies for green growth through providing a platform for researchers from the four institutions to share case studies that illustrate widely applicable strategies for furthering economic and environmental stewardship aims simultaneously.

The workshop is the second in a series, following a meeting at Dalian University in China in 2015. The event will feature presentations and panel discussions on three topics: Business Strategies for Green Growth; Cities, Infrastructure and Planning for Sustainability; and The Circular Economy. Speakers will be present from the four institutions involved in the collaboration, as well as from external organizations in Canada.
