Some suggested areas for The Future of Sustainable Development in Asia: Prospects and Implications for Euro-Asia Business are:

1. Theoretical and/or perspective papers, including philosophical, social and ecological approaches which may contribute to sustainable development in Europe and Asia.

2. Papers exploring the interplay between business activities and issues of sustainable development, e.g. climate change, natural resources, power generation, chemical and biological impacts, health and welfare, social integration, resource sustainability, wildlife habitats and other related issues in Europe and Asia.

3. Corporate activities aimed at improving sustainability, e.g. new technologies, product development and recycling businesses in Europe and Asia. For example, what might be the implications for the transfer of carbon emission reducing technology from European firms to Asian ones? What channels might accomplish this transfer effectively and efficiently?
