The Sustainable -- or "Green" -- Marketplace represents a huge growth opportunity for the regional economy of New Orleans, including new jobs, technological innovation, and tremendous social and societal benefit.
This gathering will build on existing NOLA initiatives and recommendations for greening the region. We provide a forum to build on current ideas and recommendations from efforts like the Green Collaborative of New Orleans and offer means to interconnect solidify and advance meaningful shared objectives.
Cross-sector interactions will illuminate shared goals and interconnections between main stakeholder groups, individual organizations, and key individuals.
