A lack of public awareness and ineffective environmental regulation has resulted in environmentalproblems for some Asian countries. The pace of development of environmental science programs in developing countries has also resulted in a gap in knowledge and regulation between developed and developing countries. As global environmental problems (e.g., global warming due to emissions of greenhouse gases, deforestation, climate change) increase, enhancing education in environmental science and protection of the environment is our responsibility.
The goal of this conference is to bring environmental scientists from the developed and developing countries together to exchange experiences and to discuss existing environmental issues. During the conference, an interactive meeting is scheduled for environmental scientists and managers to engage one another and discuss issues and solutions to environmental problems. This conference is designed to initiate and to further strengthen ongoing collaborations between environmental scientists from all over the world.
