GreenEvents Conference
November 5-6, 2012
Bonn, Germany
The conference aims at inducing all stakeholders (e.g. organizers, venue managers and event related suppliers)
to jointly meet the challenge they are confronted with by managing
events vis-à-vis environmental protection and sustainability. Whether
energy efficiency, waste and mobility management or the question how green
engagement can be used as a marketing device ? these questions will be
discussed from the viewpoint of those who organize, plan and finally
operate the event. The goal of the conference is bringing together
experts and practitioners, and building networks. Knowledge, ideas and
examples of best practice will be exchanged and different viewpoints and

International Symposium on Tree Value Chains in South Africa
November 26-28, 2012
Yaounde, Cameroon
Innovative strategies are needed for poverty reduction and increasing environmental sustainability in Africa which is home to some of the world's poorest people. Despite their importance and significant potential in the fight against poverty, non-timber forest products are hardly visible in the national economy statistics. In addition, the sector is mostly informal with an inappropriate legal and institutional framework, and lack of information and data on resources providing tree products is a complex endeavour involving technical and managerial skills from several partners and sectors.
Registration ends September 15th.
