Following on from the success of the EcoHealth One Conference held in Wisconsin, USA in 2006, this Conference plans to build on and explore further some of the key issues surrounding the interdependent relationships of humans and their environments.

Unsustainable living, climate change and disassociation from nature are beginning to take their toll and disastrous repercussions for human health and survival are anticipated by researchers across the globe. The transdisciplinary nature of ecohealth is an innovative way of addressing these issues.

We are excited to announce that Emeritus Professor Valerie Brown, Dr Colin Butler, Professor Tony McMichael, Professor Jonathon Patz and Professor Jules Pretty,will be among our principal plenary speakers. For more information about them please refer to our speakers page.

Our plenary speakers will be supported by an expert multidisciplinary team of speakers and facilitators from throughout Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The theme for the workshop will be ‘Ecology and Health: People and Places in a Changing World’.

The Asia Pacific EcoHealth Conference will showcase the latest research and contribute to the development of partnerships that will create opportunities for new strategies to address this looming crisis. Professionals from the social and biological sciences including health promotion, environmental health, sociology, urban planning, economics, conservation, environmental management and environmental policy will be able to share knowledge and ideas.
