Introduction

The success of the two previous International Conferences on Environmental Economics and Investment Assessment held in Mykonos in 2006 and Cadiz in 2008 led the organisers to reconvene the meeting in 2010.

The current emphasis on sustainable development is a consequence of the general awareness of the need to solve numerous environmental problems resulting from our modern society. This has resulted in the need to assess the impact of economic investments on the environment.

The usual assumption is that it is difficult to achieve the growth of enterprise in an environmentally friendly manner. The paradigm usually associated with developed countries is now affecting all other regions of the globe, the main question being whether the development of enterprise is compatible with environmental protection. This meeting will discuss the topic of investment assessment and environmental economics in an integrated way, in accordance with the principles of sustainability, considering the social and environmental impacts of new investments.

 Who Should Attend

Economists, engineers and all academics, professionals and practitioners involved in the wide range of disciplines associated with environmental economics and investment assessment in accordance with the principles of sustainability.
