A report on progress at GLOBE 2010 will feature a breakfast forum including standards, best practices and case studies, followed by an executive panel discussing the importance of value to sustainability. An interactive workshop will provide information on how to assess and calculate the value of sustainable features for government and business assets associated with the green economy.
