On January 21, 2009, the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment and The Earth Institute at Columbia University welcomed 30 students from the Business School of Erasmus University, Rotterdam School of Management, for a one-day conference on Business and Sustainable Development. The event was part of the students’ “Sustainability Trip” to New York City, which included a visit to the United Nations and to other venues and organizations that are related to green architecture and renewable energy technology solutions among businesses, non-profit organizations and International governmental organizations.
