We regret to inform you that the Workshop that was being organised in co-operation with the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the World Steel Association on "Future Priorities for the Global Steel Industry", to be held in Beijing on 20-22 October 2010, has to be postponed. Both the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the OECD have worked closely together and did extensive preparatory work for the event. The postponement is due to organisational issues which emerged at a late stage. Despite various co-operative efforts, these issues could not be resolved in time to ensure a successful event.

Sustainability and Green Growth are high on the political agenda in the run up to the UN Conference on Climate Change in December 2009. But it is businesses which face some of the greatest challenges, and perhaps opportunities, from the move towards a green economy. How can firms incorporate sustainability into their strategies, and what effect will this have on their performance? Will this effect vary between sectors? Can governments effectively create demand for innovation and sustainable demand through regulation and public procurement?

Information communication technologies (ICTs) are crucial to reducing poverty, improving access to health and education services and creating new sources of income and employment for the poor. But there are substantial discrepancies in access to ICTs between, but also within, countries, depending on key factors such as gender, rural coverage, skills and educational levels. This workshop, organised jointly by the World Bank/infoDev and the OECD, aimed to share best practices in coherent approaches to meeting development objectives laid out by Ministers.
