The seven environmental categories covered by the accords are: urban design, transportation, energy, open space, recycling, health, and water. The accords would be signed at the end of the conference on World Environment Day - June 5. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of United Nations Environment Programme and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger are also expected to attend the conference.
Activities ranging from special organic menu selections at Bay Area restaurants to a display of artwork made from recycled material will form part of more than 150 community activities scheduled on the occasion. In addition, a 'Green Cities' Expo will also be held during June 3-5. This would be the first time the World Environment Day conference is held in the United States.
