Asia Leadership Program 2014: Executive Level Session
07 April 2014 to 08 April 2014
Seoul
Renewable energy, transport, and green cities were among the key concerns discussed at the Asia Leadership Program 2014.
The second annual program offering in 2014 was held in Seoul, Korea. The KDI School of Public Policy and Management was the event partner that provided guidance and support to the various key topics for the event.
The key milestone of the program was the pilot-test of the e-learning modules and the case study method. Added insights from the field visits were used to discuss, analyze, and propose solutions to the cases on renewable and sustainable energy, sustainable urban transport, and green city development.
The executive level session was held from 7-8 April with forum sessions and field visits for energy, urban transport and green city.
