Water, Energy and Sustainable
Development – “Thinking Green, Going Clean and Living Cool”
Martin Parr to speak on Waste to Energy
MPCEE applauds and fully supports the Macao Special
Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China’s initiative to
take a proactive lead in promoting environmental protection and also in its
drive to position Macao as a gateway for clean technology transfer.
Environmental issues are urgent. Action is needed now. The government of Macao
is doing its bit in the global drive for sustainable development by proactively
hosting a forum to promote “Thinking Green, Going Clean and Living Cool” and
facilitate international cooperation.
2008 MIECF will be held from 23 to
25, April 2008, in the Cotai Stripä Convention and Exhibition Centre at The Venetian® Macao
Macao is an ideal venue, due to its geographical location,
its destination of choice for Asian travellers and its connection with the
Pan-Pearl River Delta Region. It has historically always been the gateway to
mainland China and South East Asia.
This conference
event, supplemented by an accompanying exhibition, will play host to a
multitude of government leaders, entrepreneurs, environmentalists,
climatologists, scientists, researchers, experts, financial institutions,
investors and representatives of non-government organisations, to actively
participate in the collective effort to promote environmental protection and
sustainable development; not just in China but globally. The three-day event
will gather leaders of the Pan-Pearl River Delta Provinces and Regions of
China, official guests and delegates from countries across the Asia-Pacific
region.
The 2008
MIECF aims to support sustainable economic and social development in the region
and in China through promotion of green enterprises and to establish Macao as a
bridge connecting the Chinese mainland and other countries, for technology
exchange and international co-operation in environmental protection. Critical
issues on the agenda will be Energy, Water, Clean Production &
Industrial processes and Agriculture & Forestry.
The various strands of the forum, to be run concurrently, with
presentations and discussion, are:
•
Energy Saving & Emission Reduction
•
Efficient
Use and Treatment of Water Resources
•
Clean
Manufacturing
•
Intelligent/Eco
Cities
•
Sustainable
Transport
Sectors to
be covered include alternative energy, air quality management, water supply and
waste water, climate change, energy efficient vehicles, fuel cells, green
building products, energy efficiency, pollution prevention, waste management
and recycling, sustainable construction and urban environmental management.
The exhibition will showcase the latest advances in environmental
technology, state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies and will provide the
opportunity for partnerships between providers and end-users. With rapid social and economic
development, the Pan-Pearl River Delta regions and Asia Pacific regions in
general have a high demand for environmental technologies. Governments and
enterprises in the regions will be aiming to exchange ideas and forge
co-operation with their counterparts all over the world.
