June 17 -19, 2010 Conference: Informing Green Markets
Sponsored by the Erb Institute at the Ross School in Ann Arbor/ By Invitation only.

The conference is designed to stimulate dialogue between the private sector, the public sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and academia and will focus on the dynamic processes by which information in green markets emerges and evolves.  It is designed to provoke a “deep dive” discussion into how green markets will develop in upcoming years, and the appropriate roles of government regulation, corporate environmental claims, and external evaluations by NGOs.
