The WNA Meeting 2004 is a gathering of people from Asia who share a vision of building a Zero Waste society through sustainable consumption, clean production, Zero Waste and ecology-friendly approaches to managing discards. At the WNA meeting, we talk about issues and solutions, foster skills and linkages, and inspire and support grassroots activism. The first WNA meeting was held in Bangkok, Thailand in 2000, then in Taipei, Taiwan in 2001 and most recently in Penang, Malaysia in 2003 during the GAIA Global Meeting. The WNA has evolved as GAIA’s regional platform in Asia.

The meeting will be hosted by Korea Zero Waste Movement Network (www.waste21.or.kr).

The WNA Meeting 2004 will be held from 21 to 24 June 2004 at the Ho-am Faculty House within the Seoul National University (www.hoam.ac.kr).
