GeSI Activity Report
June 2009- This Activity Report marks GeSI’s first year as a legal independent entity, and international non-profit organisation with an office in Brussels. During the year, we established a foundation, launched subsequent SMART 2020 regional reports (for the US and Portugal, see below), and increased our membership and partnerships.
GeSI’s dedicated working group leaders, active members and partners enable GeSI to respond to stakeholders faster than before, engage with policy makers more frequently, disseminate information and overall, raise awareness on sustainability issues to wide and diverse audiences around the world.
