More than 80 officials from governments and international organizations will gather in South Korea next week to discuss environment-friendly policies and sustainable development, organizers said Wednesday.

The United Nations Office for Sustainable Development said it will hold a three-day international workshop from Nov. 14 in Songdo in Incheon, west of Seoul, with a focus on strengthening planning and implementation capabilities for sustainable development.

“The workshop will provide opportunities for building partnerships to further strengthened and streamlined capacity building and knowledge-sharing efforts in a post Rio+20 context, especially if green economy policies are to be used as a tool to make transition towards sustainable development,” the UNOSD said in a statement.

The participants will share their experiences in pursuing sustainable development and have the chance to form cooperative relationships, the organizer said.
