Cebu Green Economy Series: Sustainable and Livable Cities Summit 2012

Inspired by the success of the Renewable Energy Summit in March 2011 that launched the Cebu Green Economy Series, we take on the bigger challenge of working towards a sustainable and livable Cebu City under the Green Economy framework. This summit envisions making Cebu City a model city for sustainability and livability in the country. In particular, it aims to achieve the following objectives: 1) to enable a broad-based stakeholder involvement in making Cebu City a livable and sustainable city; 2) to create a roadmap/action plan to mainstream environmental concerns and sustainable development in government programs; and 3) to constitute a technical working group that will help facilitate the development and implementation of a work plan, and lobby for mobilization of local government resources. The summit will be held in March 2012, with A2D Project once again taking the lead in organizing the event. The results of the summit will be sent to the Philippine delegation for the Rio +20 Summit which will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
