CFP: Green Economy and Sustainable Development: Bringing Back the Social Dimension

UNRISD announces a call for papers for a conference to be held 10 – 11 Oct 2011 in Geneva, Switzerland, on the theme Green Economy and Sustainable Development: Bringing Back the Social Dimension. The conference will examine how the social dimensions of development are central to understanding the connections between green economy, sustainable development and poverty eradication, and to ensuring that efforts to promote a green economy contribute to socially sustainable development. By bringing together United Nations representatives and policy makers, academics and representatives of civil society, the conference will create a forum for dialogue and analysis aimed at developing a conceptual and policy framework that will position social dimensions at the centre of green economy and sustainable development. To submit abstracts and for further information, contact Kiah Smith via email (smith@unrisd.org). Abstracts should be received by May 15, 2011. The full call for papers is available here.
