ECOMEDA Green Forum

On 25 and 26 November, the 4th edition of the Ecomeda Forum, which incorporates the word ‘Green’ in its title, will take place in Barcelona. It is the first time that the CP/RAC collaborates in this initiative that has been promoted by the Association of Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASCAME) in prior editions.

Ecomeda Green Forum 2010 will bring together companies, representatives from ministries and institutions and economic and environmental experts from across the Mediterranean. Aimed at these interest groups, the most current topics, like the use and potential of renewable energies, green products and ecolabelling and waste minimisation will be dealt with. In particular, the issue of water as a scarce resource in the Mediterranean will receive very special treatment.

These points will be discussed through presentations and working groups taking place in the morning, since the afternoons will be reserved for contact between companies in a space set up with a trade-fair system.

The CP/RAC will contribute to the gathering with its cumulative experience in preventing pollution and sustainable consumption and production, giving special prominence to its GRECO Initiative. The GRECO Initiative (Green Competitiveness) is aimed at Mediterranean companies, to show them that being respectful of the environment can, in many cases, represent substantial economic benefits.
