14^TH WORLD CLEAN AIR AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION CONGRESS
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

SEPTEMBER  9-13^th,  2007

Partnerships – Community Engagement at all Levels

Environmental issues cannot be solved by governments alone, or by determined community groups or individual industries. More and more it is recognised that maintaining our environment has become a pressing priority that requires engagement and collaboration between all community groups in Society, acting in concerted local and global partnerships. This is particularly true of the atmosphere, with, for example, recognition of the significance of the consequences of global warming.

The new theme of development of partnerships in environmental protection has been echoed by government ministers and by industry leaders at many recent international and national forums. This 2007 World Congress in Brisbane, Australia, will focus on community engagement through the development of new partnerships between local, the science, business and government communities. It will offer the opportunity to showcase examples of successful existing partnerships.

The program will, to a large extent, be outcomes-driven. There will be the same opportunities for presentation of scientific and technical work, but there will be an emphasis on outcomes in terms of partnership development, policy impacts and the like.

Brisbane's weather in September is beautiful, and the Congress will offer the opportunity for IUAPPA members to extend their stay and take in the tourist delights that Queensland has to offer - the Great Barrier Reef, beaches, rainforests, the outback. The Congress is being held close to a major celebration of Brisbane's environment, called "Riverfire", which is a spectacular event involving entertainment and scientific and policy conferences.
