Gerard Siero

Building on the work of The Climate Project – Australia, the A-P Summit will bring together 300 people representing a diverse cross section of industry, advocacy and broad social groupings from Australasia and the Asia Pacific region.

Mr Gore and a panel of international experts will provide the training hosted by the Australian Conservation Foundation. As a delegate, Ecological Architect Gerard Siero will have the chance to help focus and re-invigorate the Asia Pacific’s regional response to climate change in the lead into the critical UNCCC Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.

Mr Siero said I hope my role at the A-P Summit will mean I can work to inspire and create change in order to avoid catastrophic climate change here in Western Australia and Australia generally. I plan to be an advocate for this work in the important five month lead-up to the Copenhagen climate change negotiations.

“The A-P Summit has a specific focus on the unique window of time to act on climate change, particularly with the Copenhagen negotiations at the end of this year. Together A-P Summit delegates will inspire people from the region to make a difference at global level,” said Angela Rutter, Manager of The Climate Project - Australia.
