Abstract

SNUAC-UNITAR Joint Workshop
Sustainable Development in Asia: Environment and Regional Development

Purpose

  • Excessive energy consumption, rapid destruction of forests, declination of quality of life resulting from rapid economic growth facilitating regional development and urbanization in Asia raise the need for sustainability.
  • This workshop provides an opportunity for seeking a progressive direction for Asia’s sustainable development centering around environment and regional development. Three aspects such as green governance, urbanization, and development cooperation will be considered by taking into account the diverse perspectives of the nation, local community, civic groups, and others.
