Successful models of sustainable development in local communities can be transferred internationally, says Ken Melamed, Mayor of the Resort Municipality of Whistler. After successfully hosting the most sustainable Winter Olympic Games ever, Mayor Melamed will be talking to politicians, councilors and businesses across Ireland about Whistler’s award-winning approach to sustainable community development, which is grounded in the Natural Step Framework for strategic sustainable development. Ken will be joined by colleagues from pioneering municipalities in Sweden and Italy, who are also using the TNS Framework to accelerate progress toward sustainability.
