The workshop offers a forum for presenting original and high-quality research on the different aspects of the green economy approach in the Gulf, both examining current developments and plans and looking at the likely future course. We welcome papers examining individual country case studies, comparative studies and regional-level studies.

Studies examining specific green sectors and thematic issues will also be examined. Scholars and participants from all over the world are invited to submit paper proposals and participate in this workshop. In addition to scholars, we seek to encourage the participation of practitioners, civil society experts, and decision makers from the countries of the Gulf. Plans include publishing selected papers from the workshop in a peer-reviewed, edited volume.
