This workshop is part of an international collaboration between Dalian University in China, The University of Waterloo 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.
