Press Announcement: 11th conference of Astana EXPO-2017 Future Energy Forum "International Economy and Policy in Environmental Protection"
The eleventh Astana EXPO-2017 Future Energy Forum conference is titled "International Economy and Policy in Environmental Protection". From 28-29 August 2017 it provides representatives of government, policy makers, and key industry players with a platform for constructive dialogue about global energy and the development of an equitable, cross-national energy market.
Meeting the global challenges of environmental protection and sustainable development is dependent upon robust political and economic partnerships. Policies and measures are needed that enable national development and provide support frameworks for meeting environmental and developmental goals.
The conference deals with the question how to formulate consistent and fair regulations for the interplay of politics, policies and economies.

Marshall, Executive Vice President of Raven Ridge Resources, and Heinrich Wyes, Deputy Executive Director of the Central Asian Regional Environment Centre (CAREC), discuss how to reconcile the need for resources with environmental concerns in emerging economies.
