The rich variety of peoples and cultures will enable the participants to effectively address environmental challenges, through work within diverse groups who share a common part of the planet. On a more practical level the Symposium aims to support greater regional cooperation in the face of trans-boundary pollution problems by building on the mechanisms already in place. In November 2003, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan - all five littoral states - signed the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea. This Convention provides a framework for future cooperation among the Caspian states on key issues involving the Sea, which includes: reducing land-based pollution affecting the Sea, protecting fishing stocks and promoting coastal zone management. It is crucially important that the momentum created by the signing of the Convention be extended through continued dialogue and engagement among interested regional and international parties. The Place The Caspian Sea - Astrakhan (Russia), Baku (Azerbaijan), Bandar-e Anzali (I.R.Iran), Turkmenbashi (Turkmenistan), Aqtau (Kazakhstan). Five countries in eight days, plenaries and working groups, with environmental and cultural shore visits. Participants Two hundred participants - theologians, scientists, policy-makers, environmentalists and the media. Speakers to be invited include Professor Dr Klaus Topfer, Executive Director of UNEP, Mr Mark Malloch-Brown, Chief of Staff to the UN Secretary-General and UNDP Administrator and Mr Koichiro Matsuura, Director General of UNESCO. The shore visits and plenaries will involve many more distinguished individuals. The Symposium will also include fifty members of the international media. |
