Purpose: The conference is aimed at a diverse group of key decision
makers, governmental officials and industry representatives from the
international air quality community. Topics of discussion will include the
following: appropriate global and regional responses to urban ozone and
particulate pollution, global climate change, mobile and stationary
emission control technology options including zero emission and hybrid
vehicles, market incentives vs. command and control, regional cooperation
strategies, energy supply and diversification strategies, including
distributed distribution, and fuel choices for fuel cell vehicles.
The conference will include a short welcoming statement by the Board
