Green week: 'Our future, our choice!'
A number of thematic conferences, seminars and workshops during the week will focus on priority issues targeted in the Sixth Environmental Action Programme, tackling: climate change; protecting nature and wildlife, addressing environment and health issues, preserving natural resources and managing waste.
There will also be an exhibition and poster presentation highlighting some particularly successful environmental initiatives including projects supported by the Commission's Programmes for LIFE-Nature, LIFE-environment and LIFE-third countries. Awareness raising projects supported by the environment DG and environment related projects supported by other European Commission departments will also be showcased.
Exhibitors will have the opportunity to discuss their projects with other Greenweek participants, to exchange views and forge partnerships, according to the Commission.
The exhibition will develop five thematic 'islands' including, climate change, nature protection, health and environment, water and waste.
In addition, the Commission has organised a number of screenings of environmental films during Green Week including an IMAX film on climate change.
A special environmental social and cultural programme is also planned alongside activities for groups of school children and young people.
