EcoFest Conference Panel Discussion - Can we overcome the environmental difficulties we face : Lessons learnt?
Name: Fitz-Osbert Riviere
My abiding interest in the broader and all-inclusive concept of Environmentally Sustainable Development began with my attendance at the 1994 Barbados-based UN SIDS Conference as Dominica's NGO representative on the Government's delegation to that conference -- a requirement of the UN Conference organisers. This was later followed by an intensive two-week specialised ESD programme at the University of Bradford.
Once in Government three years later as a Labour Party Opposition Senator, I pilotted a Motion through Parliament captioned:
"TOWARDS A MORE RELEVANT DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM FOR DOMINICA"
I also attended the Mauritius Summit in January of that year!
Incidentally, I concur with the view that EcoFest 2009 could be one of the most 'exciting festivals' ever staged here in the Nature Isle of the Caribbean!Or here to Contact us for more information.
