Australia's Clearing-House Mechanism
Thematic issues
Cross-cutting issues
Almost all Australian institutions of higher learning and research offer training in environmental and biological sciences, and related biodiversity subjects. National research agencies, such as the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), offer post-graduate training in environmental and biological sciences, and in biodiversity research. The Australian Government's policy on environmental education, "Environmental Education for a Sustainable Future: National Action Plan," was launched in July 2000. Governments at all levels, and private organisations, conduct public awareness campaigns and programmes to support the aims of the Convention.
