The Implementation Conference aims to contribute to changes in
culture which we believe are essential to sustainable development.
The
overall vision is to plant new seeds for a cultural change - from words to
action, from static to dynamic, from competition to collaboration: Stakeholders
collaborating - spinning into action - towards new horizons.
