During 40 sessions, the conference will focus on water. This valuable resource needs to be used properly and sparingly, making sure that we have enough for all of its uses, and avoiding polluting our rivers, seas and oceans. Along with all other natural resources, this is one of the most vital for our continued existence on this planet.

Green week offers opportunities for debate and exchanges of experience and best practice. Over the past decade, the conference has established itself as an unmissable event for anyone involved with protecting the environment. The 2011 edition attracted some 3 160 participants from government, business and industry, non-governmental organisations, academia and the media.

 Green week is open to the public and participation is free of charge.  Green week also has an area for exhibitors.

 Together with the Green Week sessions and workshops, taking place in the Charlemagne building, rue de la Loi 170, Brussels, there will be an exhibition with 52 stands displaying green business solutions, NGO activities, local and regional authorities, European and international bodies, and so on. A dedicated LIFE area will illustrate LIFE Environment projects. This exhibition will run during the four days of the Green Week conference.
