The economic emergency has done to forget other crises, like the climatic, the energetic, the one of the biodiversidad, the one of the resources… This meeting has been especially designed to give an answer to the economic challenge, from the sustainability. We have prepared a program with more economy that never, looking for concrete and realistic solutions in the environingingmental sector that can generate employment and business activity. But, at the same time, opening spaces for reflexionar of critical form on how have arrived to this situation and to generate also the networks and necessary alliances that allow to the civil society have more weight in the decisions and can influence to change the course to a more sustainable future.
One of the most important parts of this appointment in Madrid is the Meeting Iberoamericano on Sustainable Development, in which they will participate political representatives, companies and NGO of countries like Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia… After 16 years celebrating this type of meetings on sustainability in Santiago of Chile, Panama, Cartagena de Indias, Foz of Iguazú, Sao Paulo, every time are greater the connections to a side and another of the Atlantic. In this meeting there is a part devoted to the reflection and the debate, and another more commercial, centred in facilitating the opportunities of business in the environingingmental sector.
