INVITATION- WCEM - 2004 |

I am pleased to
learn that World Environment Foundation is organising the 6th
World Congress on Environment Management with the theme of "Catalysing
Public & Private Partnersgips for Social & Environmental
actions" at Palampur, HP on 11-13 June 2004.
The WEF could not have chosen a more appropriate theme and a
more salubrious setting for the deliberations of this theme. The
rapid increase in globalisation, telecommunications and internet
while creating wealth are also causing incalculable damage to
environment. The greatest challenge before the business today is to
identify and innovate products, which are eco-friendly in order to
minimize impact on environment. Himachal with its abundant natural
resources presents unique business alternatives in 21st century and
is an ideal destination for businesses that have an eye on the
future.
I
therefore, personally welcome all delegates and speakers for this
most useful congress and wish it grand success.
