Greening WANA Conference report
As the world confronts the worst economic crisis in three-quarters of a century, the West Asia – North Africa (WANA) region is also having to respond decisively to the current circumstances.
Part of this effort has been to see the 'green lining' in the global crisis by making 'green' thinking a lucrative part of the recovery strategy. Facing up to the threats to our long-term economic and environmental sustainability means responding comprehensively to these challenges. With that aim, a group of WANA Forum leading experts met last 8-10 November 2009 in Amman (Jordan) to discuss and debate the challenges and opportunities for Greening WANA, particularly in the areas of environmental education for sustainable development and greening the economy.
This report seeks to capture their fruitful discussions and recommendations for ways forward.
