E- mail address of event organizer:

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia organised an international conference on environmental education in the minerals and energy industries at the John Curtin Centre, in the Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia, on 6-8 October 1999.

The conference brought together senior academics and senior industry and government managers to discuss how environmental issues can be better incorporated into current and future teaching curricula without detracting from the extensive technical education that is required. The conference programme looked at specific environmental course ‘units’, and also at how sustainable development considerations can be incorporated into mainstream courses at institutions.
