GREEN ECONOMY SUMMIT TO TAKE PLACE FROM 18 - 20 MAY 2010 IN
JOHANNESBURG
South Africa’s Green Economy Summit will take place from 18 to 20 May
2010 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. The Summit will
be convened under the overarching theme, "Towards a resource
efficient, low carbon and pro-employment growth path." The Summit is
hosted by the Departments of Economic Development, Environmental
Affairs, Science and Technology as well as Trade and Industry.
President Jacob Zuma will deliver a key note address on the opening day
of the Summit, Tuesday, 18 May 2010.
The South African Government has identified the Green Economy as one of
the key elements in the New Growth Path as well as the Industrial Policy
Action Plan. The South African Government affirms that a Global
transition to a low-carbon, resource efficient and sustainable economy
has a potential to create jobs across many sectors of the economy, and
indeed can become an engine of development. On behalf of the Economic
Sectors and Employment Cluster, the Green Economy Summit is therefore
scheduled to gather valuable insights on key focus areas and issues
requiring attention in the short, medium and long term.
Ministerial addresses on the opening day of the Summit will be
delivered by Ebrahim Patel, Minister of Economic Development, Rob
Davies, Minister of Trade and Industry, Geoffrey Doidge, Minister of
Public Works and Naledi Pandor, Minister of Science and Technology.
Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, Buyelwa Sonjica will cover
elements of the draft green economy plan.
It is envisaged that over 500 participants from government, business,
non-governmental organizations and the environmental sector will be in
attendance.
