22.04.10: Reform in Paradise II 

The Environmental Defence Society (EDS) will hold its national conference 'Reform in Paradise II'  at the Aotea Centre, The Edge, Auckland, New Zealand, 2-3 June 2010.

The event will build on the success of last year's conference and examine key elements of the government's environmental reform agenda. The conference will seek to provide constructive feedback on key policy decisions.

Reform in Paradise II will explore how the reforms can be harnessed to support a greening of the economy and better environmental outcomes.

Recently there have been suggestions that we should broaden the "100% Pure New Zealand" tourism brand to market the entire country overseas. If such a move was linked with policies to support a greening of the economy, this could result in positive outcomes for New Zealand's environment and economy. If we fail to improve our environmental performance then the integrity of that brand will come under increasing scrutiny in our markets.
