International Conference on Consumers and environmental justice in Porto

"Consumers and environmental justice" is the umbrella topic for the conference that will be held at the Congress Centre in Porto Customs, on 12 October.

This event will also assess topics such as the unequal impact on different groups of consumers of environmental hazards, namely air pollution, extreme weather conditions and contaminants in food.

The main goal of this conference is not only to raise awareness on the link between environmental justice and consumer policy, but also to discuss the role that both consumer associations and public and private players should play on this environmental crisis.

Experts will explain these developments both from a prevention and an enforcement perspective, in order to identify implementable solutions for consumers.

Participation is free but prior registration is mandatory.
