This program will provide an overview of the major Green Sustainably Built International Standards that will help developers incorporate the ones that are most appropriate to their projects and provide guidance to practitioners who will be advising them.

The program will also include up-to-date information concerning incorporating environmentally-friendly designs and indigenous peoples’ rights in public-private development projects from a Canadian perspective, as well as a “from the ground-up” approach to commercial development which is taking place in Sochi, Russia, in preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
