The 2016 edition of Green Week, the biggest annual occasion to debate and discuss European environment policy, will take place from Monday, 30 May to Friday, 3 June. It will focus on the theme “Investing for a greener future”.
The many facets of green investment will feature throughout the week. Events and activities will take place across Europe, centred round a high-level conference in Brussels on Wednesday 1 June, with a wide variety of organisations and partners taking part. To show how the investments of today can help a “greener future” become a reality, each day of the week will focus on different aspects of the theme.
E.g. on Monday, the focus will be on how investing for greener cities can improve the quality of urban life and on Tuesday ways of securing our future through investments in the countryside, which provides so many of the resources that our society needs, will be explored. Friday widens the scope to a more global outlook, namely investing in sustainable development for future generations. Partner Events take place throughout May and June.
