The International Conference on Environment: Survival and Sustainability, held at
the Near East University, Nicosia, Northern Cyprus 19-24 February 2007, dealt with
environmental threats and proposed solutions at all scales. The 21 themes addressed
by the conference fell into four broad categories; Threats to Survival and Sustainability;
Technological Advances towards Survival and Sustainability; Activities and Tools for
Social Change; Defining Goals for Sustainable Societies. Activities and tools that
move the society towards greater sustainability were emphasized at the conference.
These included environmental law and ethics, environmental knowledge, technology and
information systems, media, environmental awareness, education and lifelong learning,
the use of literature for environmental awareness, the green factor in politics, international
relations and environmental organizations. The breadth of the issues addressed at
the conference made clear the need for greatly increased interdisciplinary and international
collaboration the survival and sustainability concept. The exchanges at the conference
represent a step in this direction
