15th International Union of Air Pollution Prevention and Environmental Protection Associations' World Clean Air Congress Document Actions "Achieving Environmental Sustainability in a Resource Hungry "

We encourage you to attend the 15th International Union of Air Pollution Prevention and Environmental Protection Associations' (IUAPPA) World Clean Air Congress from September 12-16, 2010 in spectacular Vancouver, British Columbia.

The 2010 IUAPPA Congress theme of "Achieving Environmental Sustainability in a Resource Hungry World" recognizes the need for holistic management approaches to effectively mitigate potential water, food, energy, and environmental challenges. This Congress will bring together specialists from academia, industry, consulting, environmental advocacy groups, and government to present innovative ways to improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimize environmental impacts. The program will examine international, national and local-scale issues facing both emerging and developed economies.

Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, Vancouver is recognized as one of the world's most livable cities, renowned for its innovative programs and leadership in sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity. Visitors will enjoy multi-cultural dining and entertainment, outdoor adventure, world class shopping, spectacular sights and attractions. We also encourage delegates to take pre- or post- conference day trips to the picturesque Resort Municipality of Whistler or a late season cruise to Alaska.

This will be a Congress to remember. On behalf of the local host committee we welcome your participation and look forward to seeing you in 2010!
