Globally, the business case for green development is getting stronger. There is need for everyone (private sector, communities, CSOs and public sector) to position himself or herself to tap into opportunities provided by this paradigm shift. The Green Summit aims to provide a challenging interactive environment for debate and learning on green development trends.
‘There are several stand-alone initiatives being undertaken by different stakeholders in public, private and by non-state actors towards green development. There is need for a learning and exchange forum where thought leaders in green, innovators, and even amateurs exchange experiences, learn about trends and get to know about innovative products and services that are powering green development. The Green Summit and the Mazingira Award is such a forum’ wrote Judy Kepher-Gona, the Director of STTA.
