Practical information
Despite the consensus around and the popularity of the concept, the transition of “green growth” from theory to practice runs into a number of challenges. As the Earth Summit 2012 (Rio + 20) on Sustainable Development draws near, it is crucial for actors to actively participate in the assessment of progress made, and to make new propositions.
The Health&Environment"s sixth international seminar will bring together high-level representatives from relevant ministries and international organisations as well as researchers and members of the private sector, providing them with an opportunity for high level and interdisciplinary exchanges on the meaning of "green growth" and on the problems that emerge in its implementation within public policies.

What once looked like a stable architecture now appears fragile, contested, and in places actively being dismantled.
