First of all thank you very much for attending this 6th World Environmental Education Congress and many, many thanks to Australian Association of Environmental Education, to the sponsor as Government of Queensland and the Griffith University. Many thanks to all other sponsors, to this beautiful city of Brisbane, to the Australian people hosting us warmly and friendly. We welcome you. Hundreds of participants arrived here from all over the world, many of us after a long and tiring trip, for exchanging experiences, for improve our knowledge about different national, cultural, socio-economic contexts, for strengthen relationships and the friendship. This sixth World Congress of Environmental Education takes place in a region, the Asia-Pacific, that has recently seen tremendous natural disasters, but also humankind-made disasters, the result of humankind’s action on the planet.
