E Week India 2009 theme: Go Green! The world is our business.
The need for sustainable forms of development has never been more telling: the effects of climate change are now all too real to ignore. Even as governments around the world drag their feet on ways and means to counter them, private enterprises are beginning to take charge. And it is not just to deflect criticism from green activists, but to capitalize on the billions of dollars worth of opportunities and investments this sector is beginning to witness.
In this context, E Week India's theme this year, "Go Green! The world is our business", will aim to focus attention on sustainable development, green business opportunities, and innovative solutions to environmental problems. Students will be mobilized to take part in a wide range of activities and programs - both online and face-to-face. These will include expert panel discussions on alternative forms of energy, competitions to identify and debate on green opportunities, educational movie screenings exhibitions to showcase ideas and ventures of students, and much more!
