Bonn Symposium 2009
Sustainable Development in Times of Crises
Opposition or Opportunity?
23 - 24 November 2009, World Conference Center Bonn / Deutsche Welle
Under the Patronage of
Yvo de Boer
Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
"The Bonn Symposium 2009 comes at an auspicious time in history - just before the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, where dramatic policy decisions have to be made on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping the most vulnerable communities adapt. The Bonn Symposium can help people focus on these central issues."
Armin Laschet
Minister for Intergenerational Affairs, Family, Women and Integration of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia
"Acting sustainably and responding promptly to crises – these are not controversial approaches. This is the underlying tenet of the Bonn Symposium 2009."
