Lower Hunter and Central Coast Regional Environmental Management Strategy An initiative of the Local Governments of Gosford, Wyong, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Port Stephens, Cessnock and Maitland LHCCREMS is an innovative and highly successful regional initiative currently being implemented by the seven Councils that comprise the Lower Hunter and Central Coast Region. LHCCREMS was developed to assist, support and resource local government to more efficiently develop and implement environmental management programs. It seeks to facilitate a regional approach to improved environmental management throughout the Lower Hunter and Central Coast by actively encouraging greater co-operation between member Councils, other authorities, industry and community groups. The LHCCREMS Project was developed in 1995 through an extensive twelve-month regional community consultation process. Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Newcastle, Port Stephens, Cessnock, Gosford and Wyong Councils endorsed the LHCCREMS Strategy in early 1996. Implementation of the LHCCREMS Strategy commenced in 1996 based on the prioritisation of a range of key regional issues identified in the consultation phase of its development.

64. The Monterey Bay Regional Studies Program traditions. Encouraging a regional Discussion MBRS sponsors regular informal seminars to discuss regional environmental issues. Recent http://www2.ucsc.edu/mbrs/

Using an interdisciplinary approach, faculty and graduate students in the natural and social sciences are working together to understand the dynamic processes and tensions of the Monterey Bay region - an understanding that can be extended to worldwide environmental and social change and development. Interactions in Coastal Environments Coastal environments are zones of interaction involving terrestrial and marine habitats, land-sea-air processes, and human activities. The MBRS program gives researchers the opportunity for interdisciplinary perspective, by involving other regional research and educational institutions, social and political organizations, and industry. The program's emphasis, "Bi-directional Interactions in Coastal Environments," combined with the regional approach, promotes focused collaborative work across varied research traditions. Encouraging a Regional Discussion MBRS sponsors regular informal seminars to discuss regional environmental issues. Recent topics have included strategies for university-industry interactions and wetland conservation, and the role of refugia in protecting important fisheries. In an ongoing effort to build partnerships with other institutions, MBRS presents public symposia, "Challenges for the Monterey Bay Region." A symposium on fisheries and climate change brought scholars from throughout the United States to discuss studies of fisheries biology and the legal history of fisheries organizations. A planned symposium will address the use of fire in management of the maritime chaparral at Fort Ord, relating issues in conservation biology to questions of land management and military base conversion.

The managing coordinator of the center, Sandra Reed, R.N., M.A, M.S.N. , and the center's director of research, Joel N. Kline, M.D. , describe the environmental hazards typical for Iowa that are monitored by the center. History: Children are uniquely vulnerable to health effects caused by exposure to environmental hazards. While parents and society try to ensure as safe an environment for children as possible, there are communities that are disproportionately affected by environmental exposures. Therefore, the multitude of hazards facing children should be addressed in unison and placed within the context of a child's life.

Enforcement Studies and Training The Center for State, Local and Regional Environmental Programs State and local agencies are continually grappling with environmental legislation and related policy, attempting to generate the most effective and efficient methods of protecting the environment. However, their struggles are often overlooked by efforts to support legal reform and improved environmental programs. The Environmental Law Institute recognizes that state and local governments bear the primary responsibility for implementing and enforcing environmental protection laws. Since its inception thirty years ago, we have studied state programs, legal innovations, enforcement practices, and interrelationships with federal agencies. In 1986, funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, ELI founded the Center for State, Local, and Regional Environmental Programs to promote this important agenda. This unique approach highlights ELI’s in-depth knowledge of state, local, and regional environmental law procedure, and supports the growing need for guidance and analysis of these protection efforts.

4. Do "global" issues always call for global action? Home page Previous Next Who governs the global environment? ... The programme The ability to cope with environmental change is best developed at the local level" Global regimes do not always achieve worthwhile goals. Is local action likely to be more efficient, fair and apt to reconcile different interests? Are regional environmental regimes a better alternative? Global environmental regimes in which national governments co-operate to meet shared objectives are not the only response to apparently 'global' problems. So far their success has proven limited. As a form of 'global governance without global government', regimes rely on voluntary action by countries. At the same time, examples of regional environmental regimes and local adaptation to environmental change suggest that the 'global' is not always the best level for action. This recognition of many levels of governance reflects a perception that government is becoming more dispersed. The capacity of national governments to exercise power is being transformed. Local, regional and international institutions have gained prominence, as have independent agencies and NGOs. This reflects wider trends in free societies, but is also an acknowledgement that increasingly complex political, economic and social systems cannot be governed from a single level. Regional environmental regimes, defined by geographical features like seas and river catchments rather than by political borders, may offer greater opportunities to tackle problems at the appropriate level. They pay closer attention to regional conditions and line up the formulation of policy measures with the capacity to implement them. Regional international co-operation is not new, but could provide a strong model for effective collaboration in the future.

Environmental education What is environmental education? Awards and scholarships for schools and students Community events Community landcare and coastcare groups ... Northland Regional Council Youth Summit The Northland Regional Council can't manage all of the resources of the region on its own. Communities, organisations and individuals must also be encouraged to help manage the environment. In order to meet this goal, as many Northlanders as possible must develop a sound understanding of environmental principles, practices, and standards. Environmental education is a key method to achieve the objectives of the regional plans and management strategies. What is environmental education? The Northland Regional Council's understanding of environmental education is based on internationally accepted aims identified at the Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education held at Tbilisi in 1977. The Tbilisi Declaration is the basis of the education section of Agenda 21, the global framework for action adopted by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992. The Agenda 21 document concluded that: Education is critical for promoting sustainable development and improving the capacity of people to address environment and development issues. It is also critical for achieving environmental and ethical awareness, values and attitudes, skills and behaviour consistent with sustainable development and for effective public participation in decision making.
