Governance of Markets for Sustainability

Conference in the Japanese-German Policy Dialogue on Environmental Issues October 13-14, 2003

  • Publications 01.12.2004

"The title of the symposium initially has been 'Governance of Sustainability,' but we decided to change it to 'Governance of Markets for Sustainability' in order to focus on the important topic of the integration of environmental and economic concerns. This will indeed be the challenge for giving environmental issues a sustainable platform. As we have learned in many other fields in recent years, such issues can only be sustainable if they meet economic needs. What is the economic potential of environmental friendly innovations, consumption etc.? Do they support or hinder economic and technical progress? The assumption is that they support each other. What information do companies need? How can environmental issues be integrated in their business model? These are only a few questions that have been asked." (Angelika Viets, Secretary General, Japanese-German Center Berlin)
