Applications close 30 June 2001. Adoption of an EMS at the University in Tokyo has resulted in a number of positive impacts including reductions in resource consumption as well as a general increase in the environmental awareness of all personnel. In 2001, the UNU will implement a number of measures to increase local public understanding of its policies and objectives related to ISO14001. In addition, efforts will be made to disseminate this best practice experience to other parts of the UN system. After the speech, there will be a half-hour long question and answer session for members of the audience.
Limited seats are available to members of the public, so it is essential to pre-register .
Simultaneous translation will be available in Japanese. Those unable to attend the lecture can view the live broadcast. Questions for the Prime Minister will be accepted by email . An important part of the VU Initiative is the production of content. A recent development at VU Media and Technology Laboratory has enabled us to automatically capture, publish, and catalog the presentations given by our PhD fellows and partners.
