	International Forum & Exhibition WEATHER • CLIMATE • WATER / EARTH OBSERVATIONS / GREEN ECONOMY 2022 International Forum & Exhibition WEATHER • CLIMATE • WATER / EARTH OBSERVATIONS / GREEN ECONOMY will take place on 20 – 21 July 2022 at the Expoforum Convention Center in St. Petersburg, Russia, with the support of Roshydromet – Federal Service of Russia on Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. The Exhibition is one of the world’s most significant in the field of hydrometeorology, environmental monitoring, Earth observations and green economy. Forum and Exhibition in 2022 are timed to launching of unique self-propelled ice-resistant platform (IRS) - the “North Pole”. In July this scientific vessel for Arctic research will start it’s first test expedition to Arctic Ocean. The North Pole’s displacement is more than 10,000 tonnes; the maximum term of autonomous work in terms of food supplies is one year, in terms of fuel - two years. The platform’s onboard scientific complex features 15 laboratories. The vessel has a field camp, which can be organized on ice. The platform’s team of researchers is 34 people. The platform is 83 meters long, its breadth is about 22 meters, and it is more than 11 meters high. The vessel’s hull can resist the compression of long-term ice, which has been confirmed in model experiments in the ice pool. One of the decks will have a runway for Mil Mi-8 and Mi-38 helicopters. Platform is the outstanding achievement of national science and technology and has no analogues in the world. In July 2022, before the North Pole’s first voyage, there will be unique opportunity to present this vessel to hydro-meteorological community, which is supposed to be one of highlights of Forum and Exhibition.

GREEN ECONOMY
Green economy is the key factor in overcoming the negative consequences of global climate change. Green economy, as defined by UNEP, is the one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. A green economy is low-carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in income and employment are driven by public and private investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy and resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Innovative green technologies and services in the following sectors will be presented:
Green renewable energy, energy generating systems based on hydrometeorological resources.
Water resources, waste water treatment.
Green transport
Waste management
Green industry
Green construction
Tourism
Urban Economy

ST. PETERSBURG
We are very pleased to welcome you in our hometown, St. Petersburg, the world’s most beautiful city!
July is maybe the best time to visit St. Petersburg and still enjoy world famous White Nights.

From late May to early July the nights are bright in St. Petersburg, with the brightest period, the White Nights, normally lasting from June 11th to July 2nd. However, the nights are quite bright for few more weeks.The White Nights is a natural phenomenon caused by St. Petersburg's unique geographical location - at 59 degrees 57' North (about the same latitude as Oslo, Norway, the southern tip of Greenland and Seward, Alaska). Therefore, the sun does not descend below the horizon enough for the sky to grow dark.
The availability of very reasonably priced hotels will make your visit cost-effective, while magnificent St. Petersburg will make your stay an unforgettable experience!
