World Environment Day Awards 2008
FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

The United Nations Association of Australia today announces the finalists in this yearfs World Environment Day Awards (see attached list).

From the heights of the Andes Mountains, to schools, home, businesses, communities and local councils, submissions to this yearfs Awards have truly traversed the globe. Each project confronts the extents of global warming, climate change and environmental transformation, and shows us practical and imaginative ways to combat these challenges.

Held as part of celebrations for the United Nationsf World Environment Day (5 June), these Awards acknowledge actions taken at a local level to address global environmental issues. The 2008 United Nations World Environment Day theme, eKick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economyf, and the 2008 International Year of Planet Earth focus particular attention on global warming and on the responsibility of countries, companies and communities to de]carbonise their lifestyles.

The standard of this yearfs finalists is outstanding, which reflects the growing awareness across all Australian sectors of the critical role the environment plays in all aspects of human endeavour.
