Sustainability in the Americas: Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.

September 18, 2006

Creating sustainable cities is one of the twenty-first century's major challenges. As societies around the world embrace sustainability, those in developed regions focus most on environmental responsibility, while those in developing regions focus more on social and economic aspects. At this conference, experts from Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. will address different approaches taken in North and South America to incorporate all three criteria.

This event is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. Sponsored by the Center for Sustainable Development, IC2, and the Brazil Center of the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies.
