Cebu Green Economy Series I: Renewable Energy Summit 2011

The Cebu Green Economy Series is a string of events that allows stakeholders to discuss relevant issues linking environment, society and economy. Its aim is to explore “rapid but low risk” alternatives to the destructive ways in which society has carried out developmental projects that exploit the environment and marginalized the poor. Under the Cebu Green Economy Series, we address themes such as: 1) clean and alternative energy; 2) green jobs and investments; 3) food security; 4) sustainable transportation; 5) sustainable waste management and resource conservation; 6) eco-friendly built environment and architecture, and 7) livable cities and urban environment, to name a few. The series started with the Renewable Energy (RE) Summit, a nationwide gathering of almost 300 participants, having the theme “Meeting the Challenges of Sustainable Energy development in Central Visayas” last March 7-8, 2011 at the SM City Cebu Trade Hall. A2d Project served as the secretariat of the event sponsored by the Cebu City Government, Foundation for the Philippine Environment, SM City Cebu, Shangri-La Hotel Mactan, Optima Printing Press, and SIBAT.
