Hosted by IUAPPA member organisations, regional conferences provide an opportunity for environmental protection specialists to examine issues from a regional perspective, to forge partnerships and to look for and promote solutions to regional problems. 



2009 Regional Conference



The 2009 IUAPPA Regional Conference was held in North Africa, an area of the world facing major environmental challenges and one where IUAPPA has not previously met. The meeting was held from November 23 to 27, in the fascinating and historic city of Tunis, in the heart of the region.



IUAPPA has one observer member in Tunisia - Women for Sustainable Development (WFSD) - and we took the opportunity to get to know and work with this Association much more closely. A number of our other members have links with this region, notable APPA, our French member, whose journal circulates widely among scholars in the region.



The conference was held in conjunction with a meeting of the Global Atmospheric Pollution Forum whose ongoing programme includes support for development of an Inter-Governmental Network on Air Pollution in the region. The programme for the conference was developed in close consultation with UNEP, who are leading for the Forum on the Inter-Governmental initiative and the Sahara-Sahel Observatory, the leading environmental research institute in the region. Also involved was the UNECE LRTAP Convention, which has long been hoping to link its European air pollution monitoring systems with North Africa and with the European Commission, in view of the Union's recent initiatives for the Mediterranean.



The 2008 IUAPPA Regional Conference was held in South Africa.
