The majority of the world’s population lives within sixty kilometers of the coast line - and this portion is steadily increasing. Yet the coastal ecosystem is fragile, and the combination of development and climate change can cause harm to the priceless natural resources that draw people to the oceans. This conference, for coastal city leaders, managers and academics, will feature discussions on many aspects of the human/urban piece of the coastal environment.

The theme of this year's U.S. Green Building Council’s Greenbuild International Conference and Expo is "Revolutionary Green: Innovations for Global Sustainability." Join architects, code officials, developers, green power providers, and many others in Boston, Mass. for this important conference on green building.
