The Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) and

being sent to landfills and to ensure that none is sent to
incinerators. The programme for this event includes knowledge
and experiences sharing, lively discussions on alternatives
to incineration and the presentation of the Zero Waste campaign
on the Global People's Forum. MORE

Move Towards a World Environment Organisation?
|
Public Debate
|
| |
September 2; 18h15-20h00; Boell Forum -- Move Towards
a World Environment Organisation? Debating the Jo'Burg Memo/Theatre
Fair Wealth. Environmental governance is weak, fragmented
and generally ineffective. Time might now be ripe to develop
clearer structures that would deepen commitment, focus efforts,
and enjoy parity with both the UN and the Bretton Wood institutions.
The Jo'burg Memo advocates the creation of a World Environment
Organisation. In our last Memo debate, we will discuss this
controversial proposal. Every evening during the World
Summit, the Boell Forum will witness an unusual combination
of two events: a short theatre play and a subsequent
debate on the themes of the Jo'Burg Memo, featuring the
key challenges for the World Summit. The same play will be
performed every day, while the debate will have a different
focus each evening. MORE
