Building Eco-Civilization: Green transformation and transition
IISD Vice-President (International) Mark Halle spoke at the 2013 Eco-Forum Global (EFG), China's only state-level international conference focused on eco-civilization.
The conference was held in Guiyang, the capital of the country's poverty-stricken southwestern province of Guizhou. Opened by the Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, the forum emphasized green industry, green urbanization and green transition, and committed to acting as a platform for open dialogue and working to bridge effective solutions for China's big transformation to an eco-civilization. IISD's Distinguished Fellow Arthur Hanson and IISD Board Member Pan Jiahua also attended the EFG.
