World Green Building Council Leader's Summit
September 11, 2009 | Levent OZLER
IIDEX/NeoCon Canada 2009 and the Green Building Festival will host the World Green Building Council Leader's Summit on September 23, 2009.
The Leaders Summit will be the first time the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) brings together world industry leaders and policy makers to hear from experts about the enormous potential green buildings offer nations as they work to reduce their carbon emissions.
This Summit is part of a larger initiative that includes a number of events happening concurrently around the World, as many of the national Green Building Councils (GBCs) also work to raise awareness about the important role green buildings have in reducing carbon emissions.
World leaders are preparing to gather in December for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to determine the next global deal on how to reduce carbon emissions.
WorldGBC wants to ensure that green buildings are a part of the Copenhagen discussions.
Hosting the Summit in Toronto, in conjunction with IIDEX/NeoCon Conference and the Green Building Festival, the WorldGBC Secretariat wants to shine the spotlight on Canadian initiatives and showcase the opportunities for governments to be the leading advocate for green buildings on the international stage.
