International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP)

ISAP is a two-day forum, held once a year with a timely theme, to promote diverse discussions on sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific. It also aims to provide opportunities to boost information-sharing and strengthen collaborative efforts with front-line experts and diverse stakeholders from international organisations, governments, business and NGOs, drawing upon the international/regional networks in which IGES plays an important role.

ISAP2012

Steering towards a sustainable and resilient future: Beyond Rio+20

ISAP2012, under the umbrella theme of "Steering towards a sustainable and resilient future: Beyond Rio+20", will be convened focusing on four timely issues - follow-up to Rio+20, climate change, resilience, and green economy. ISAP2012 will also serve as a platform to launch two new publications - the regional launch of the fifth Global Environmental Outlook (UNEP/GEO5); and the fourth IGES White Paper entitled “Greening Governance in Asia-Pacific”.

Diverse stakeholders from across the region including high level officials, industry leaders, and cutting-edge researchers will gather to discuss and develop messages from the region on sustainable development pathways.
