The government is considering further environmental reforms. These will cover the foreshore and seabed, aquaculture, the exclusive economic zone, conservation land, freshwater, urban management and infrastructure.

There have been suggestions that we should broaden the "100% Pure New Zealand" tourism brand and make it a New Zealand brand.

EDS's 2010 national conference will examine how the environmental reform process can be harnessed to support a greening of the economy, which in turn can support a strong green brand for the country.

Speakers will unpack the key elements of a green economy and explore future trends in our international markets. Sessions will then critically evaluate prospective changes in environmental governance and management, both centrally and locally, and examine how these might be designed to support green growth.

The EDS annual conference is now well-established as a high quality, thought-provoking and stimulating national event. Growing Green will be a 'must attend' event for all those with an involvement in resource use and who want a better future for New Zealand.
