This is the major annual event for the International Association for Public Participation and only the second time that the IAP2 Association has allowed its annual conference to travel beyond the shores of North America.
It’s a unique opportunity that provides a forum for communities, industry, Government, NGOs, academic institutions and key thinkers from around the world. Keynote speakers include:
• Alan Young: Scottish and Southern Energy - CSR as a permeated business concept
• Professor Doreen McBarnett: Oxford University - International Law, participation and CSR
• Martin Neureiter: ISO 26000 - Public Participation as International Standard
• Richard Douthwaite - Oil Peak and Risk to Community Wellbeing
Public Participation and CSR is a new arena: a new politics of responsibility in business towards communities and to citizens. The response from participants wanting to present has been astonishing. We have accepted over seventy presentation abstracts. These include:
• Guiding principles in community engagement
• The relationship of local people to government in seventeen countries
• Good neighbour agreements in water management
• Light rail development in Phoenix
• Stakeholders driving business decisions
• CSR and sustainable development
• Citizens inside public health policy
• The Australian citizens parliament
• A framework for the evaluation of the UN Brisbane Declaration
• Concept of Zakat: Islamic Charity as a tool for CSR
