WELCOMING MESSAGE
Sustainable
development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs should be implemented in
all countries. The implementation is of importance especially with the presence
of alarming local to global scale anthropogenic environmental problems and how
the countries are connected through the earth‘s natural system. It is thus
imperative that countries collaboratively working together to tackle and
prevent the problems in order to warrant the successful implementation of sustainable
development in the countries.
It is
under the above mentioned spirit that the Environmental Technology and Management
Conference (ETMC) was initiated. Held every 4 years since 1997 and with growing
numbers of participant and expertise, the ETMC brings together policy makers,
scientists, engineers, industries, and field expertise in environmental
technology and management to discuss current and future local, regional, and
global environmental issues. The ETMC is aimed to provide a forum to discuss and
disseminate advances in research, technologies, and management, for improving
the quality of the environment. Past participants of the conference include
researchers, academic staffs, students, industries, public, and government officials.
With
theme "Present and Future Challenges in Environment Sustainability", the 4th
ETMC is a global momentum for sustainable development that will lead to
practical applications of the engineering and science of sustainability.
Participating industries, academics, and governmental bodies will acquire information
on the state of the art in environmental technology and management.
