| Summary: | GLOBE (GLobal Opportunities for Business and the Environment) is a series of international
Conferences and Trade Fairs designed to advance global sustainable development by
encouraging practical solutions to environmental challenges and promoting related business
opportunities and responsibilities. The GLOBE Series focuses foremost on the role of
industry in the achievement of sustainable development, and promotes the innovation of
industry-driven solutions to environmental challenges that are in keeping with proven
business strategy.
The Trade Fair is a marketplace for the environment industry, promoting both the sale of
state-of-the-art environmental products, services and technologies, as well as the strategic
alliances essential in global trade. The Conference is a meeting place for the presentation of
practical solutions and case studies demonstrating the principles of sustainable development.
GLOBE'90, the first event in this series, was convened in March of 1990. It proved an
international success with participation from over 70 countries. GLOBE'92, to be held from
March 16-22, 1992, will explore the ways in which technological know-how, market forces
and cross-sectoral cooperation can be mobilized to address environmental challenges. The
importance and increasing relevance of the GLOBE Series is underscored by its inclusion in
Canada's recently developed Green Plan
