Assessment
30th Annual
Conference of the International Association for Impact
Assessment
6-11 April,
2010
Geneva,
Switzerland
To transition toward green
economies, assessments must first demonstrate the types of green investments
that best fit local, national, and regional environments. Impact assessments
have the power to influence and shape green policy, which will in turn play a
major role in addressing the global crises. IAIA10 will focus on the following
sectors that have the potential for sustainable green investment:
Agriculture
Industry
Tourism
Cities
Transport
The objective of IAIA10 is to
provide policy makers with tools to help address the global crises. In light of
the urgency, the time for action is now. The response by conference
participants and IAIA must be both practical and creative.
In addition to engaging theme
forums, plenaries, and concurrent sessions, training courses and technical
visits will also be offered. For more information on IAIA10 or to be notified
of updates, click the IAIA10 link at www.iaia.org or contact impact@iaia.org. Geneva,
