The Second Symposium on Sustainable Development in the Asia-Pacific will be held 19-21st December 2019 at M.I.T.S Gwalior, India.

The Symposium has been designed to foster and facilitate the exchange of information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of building and infrastructure construction project with sustainability outcomes. The Symposium will bring together academia, experts, policy makers and other stakeholders to deliberate on sustainability issues related to construction of building and infrastructure. The event will also provide a platform for networking, exchange of ideas and future partnerships.

The Symposium will feature a dedicated session on sustainable public procurement, aiming to discuss how sustainability and circularity considerations can be integrated throughout the procurement stages of the built environment in order to deliver sustainability outcomes; contributing thus greatly to the discourse of how public procurement could be used as a strategic tool to deliver sustainability considerations and contribute to achievement of SDGs.

More information about the event can be found on the Symposium website sdrap2019.mitsgwalior.in, which will be regularly updated.

The Symposium is supported by the United Nations One Planet Network “Sustainable Buildings and Construction” and the “Sustainable Public Procurement” Programmes, IUSDRP and other partners.
