International Green Investment Conference to take place in Dominica

Dominica is expected to host an International Green Investment Conference carded for September 2010.

According to a press release from The Development Institute, as important as these global meetings are as a means of setting a clear response path for developing countries, the need for prompt action by Dominica and other vulnerable small island developing countries is no longer in question.

The press release stated that in small islands like Dominica where all natural and built systems are in very close physical proximity to each other, the direct links between economic and ecological crisis is confronted every day.

This Green Investment Conference will make the links between issues of climate change and social and economic change clearer by bringing together practitioners of green business in Dominica, along with their overseas counterparts, to establish knowledge-based business partnerships that result in commercial investments to green the Dominican economy, the press release added.

    Why doesn’t Dominica use these biodegradable disposable products ONLY instead of that white polystyrene stuff that takes so long to break down… http://www.verterra.com/

    This would fit Dominica’s image. I see so many people just throw rubbish around in the river and all over the place, it’s getting to be a mess and soon will not be able to call itself ‘the nature isle’ it will become the ‘rubbish tip’ of the Caribbean.. just like Guadeloupe is with all it’s billions of plastic bags sailing around in the wind there.

    Dominican’s got to get it together and get with the program, and lead the way for the rest of the Caribbean. You are all so straight speaking and blunt and firm, use those skills for leadership and get the train moving yourselves.
