The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global
partners is proud to announce the Second Annual Asian Conference on
Sustainability, Energy and the Environment, to be held from May 3-6
2012, at the Ramada Osaka, Osaka, Japan.
CONFERENCE THEME: "Working Together Towards a Sustainable World"
Sustainability has emerged as the most important global issue for business, industry, government, and academia, and yet to begin with sustainability was associated only with environmental concerns such as energy
and global warming. It is now recognized that the concept of sustainability is applicable to all areas of human society, for example in terms of
social/economic justice, or responsible business practice. Issues such as poverty, hunger, education, health care,
and access to markets should be a part of the evolution of any
comprehensive sustainability paradigm as we work together to achieve a sustainable
future. ACSEE 2012 will address these
various dimensions of human sustainability as we invite scholars from around
the world to address questions and search for solutions to the complex
issues surrounding sustainability in a forum encouraging serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners in the fields of human endeavor that link these. We call on scientists from around the globe to meet and share our
respective outlooks and collective wisdom on a critical issue of common
concern: the pursuit of a sustainable world.
It is a sincere hope that attendees will use this time together, not just for intellectual discovery and discourse, but to establish a common vision and to motivate each other to do our part in the creation of a better world. We greatly appreciate your attendance and encourage your active engagement throughout the conference.
