Introduction
apc.au would like to register our interest in being involved in the INSPRO II workshop over 26th to 28th June. Building on our extensive ICT experience and our background research work with climate and environment issues, we believe we can make a solid contribution to the workshop.
Background
apc.au directors have been involved in climate research since the late 1980's, having established the first database on climate change research in Australia (Greenhouse Action Australia). We have also assisted in the establishment of a national network of local government environment officers (CouncilNet) and a regional-wide network of environment groups and associations in Asia dealing with climate change and forestry issues (Pactok).
All three projects, and many more besides, laid the foundation for networks and activities that are still active today.
Presently, apc.au is producing of a series of micro documentaries depicting the impacts on the forest communities of Sarawak, Malaysia, due to climate change and the government's proposed hydro-electric dam construction:
Research
Research projects we have recently performed include:
Mapping of arts activity across the state of Victoria and a proposal for a multimedia documentation of models of arts practice that has an online capacity to connect to Disability Online:
Advice on tools, design and implementation of arts and disabilities events and services database throughout Victoria:
Melbourne Outside the Square Web 2.0 / social networking advisory:
Background research and onsite investigations for the African component of the Home Lands project:
apc.au is firmly committed to the use of ICTs to develop awareness of and facilitate action towards addressing climate and environmental issues. Our objectives include working to create a sustainable environment for society, corporations and individuals.
Personnel

He has extensive knowledge of ICTs and business/project management and has been a director of apc.au since July 2005.
