2-4pm 16 November 2011: Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort, Cancun, Mexico

In October 2010 at the London Symposium “Cooperative Responses to the Climate Challenge”, ICA Housing made a commitment to ask all its members to sign-up to only use timber and other forest products in their housing construction, refurbishment and repair projects from sources that certify sustainable forest management through internationally recognised sustainable forestry management schemes such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. To further this commitment ICA Housing is pleased to host this seminar during the Cancun General Assembly entitled : “Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change: Sustainable Sources of Timber and Forest Products.
