International Conference on Green Economy Growth: Synergizing Green Productivity and the Circular Economy

This international conference is a commemoration of the APO’s Diamond Jubilee to showcase the productivity improvement journey in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically efforts to enhance GP. The APO’s 60th Anniversary celebrations started in 2021 but the associated commemorative events were rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

GP was launched in 1994 in line with the 1992 Earth Summit recommendations that both economic development and environmental protection are key strategies for sustainable development. Recognizing the need to take urgent action to mitigate climate change, the APO Vision 2025 of Inclusive, Innovation-led Productivity Growth in the Asia-Pacific includes intensifying the promotion and adoption of GP as a key strategic thrust.

This conference will examine recent GP trends, methods, techniques, and challenges in ecodesign, hospitality, logistics, and supply chains in the Asia-Pacific and beyond. It will give participants a deeper understanding of productivity-enhancing innovations in GP and strengthen partnerships and green growth opportunities with international organizations, private companies, universities, and research institutes. As an anniversary event, the conference will take stock of the APO’s achievements over the past six decades and identify new drivers and strengths to ensure its continued contributions to the region.
