Excellence in Environmental Practice
Our transition to a sustainable society depends on achieving good environmental outcomes in everything we do, and how we do it. Improving environmental outcomes depends on continuously building the capacity of environmental practitioners and lifting standards in environmental practice.
The Environment Institute is a leading professional body in Australia and New Zealand for environmental practitioners, and promotes independent and interdisciplinary discourse on environmental issues. On all issues and all projects the Institute advocates best available environmental practices to be delivered by competent and ethical environmental practitioners.
The Institute was formed in 1987 to meet the needs of environmental practitioners. It is a non-profit, politically independent professional association. The Institute is multi-disciplinary in membership and provides scope and opportunity for professional and academic interchanges across all sectors of the diverse environmental industry.
The Institute has a key role within the Australian and New Zealand communities as a major contributor to the formulation of effective and responsible policies in the broad field of environmental management. The practical consequence of the Institute’s involvement in environmental management reform processes is a long-term improvement in the quality of environmental management. This must, in turn, lead to a better protected and managed global environment as Institute members pursue their endeavours and apply their skills to local environments.
Membership of the Institute demands the achievement and maintenance of the highest standards of professional competence and diligent adherence to principles of ethical practice.

Public Consultation Paper - Carbon Farming Skills
The Carbon Farming Skills: Accreditation Scheme for Carbon Farming Initiative Service Providers - Public Consultation Paper has now been released for public comment.
The paper will be distributed to EIANZ members with the understanding they we represent one of their key stakeholder groups in this process. Of relevance to the EIANZ is the following paragraph:
"In proposing these criteria, the Government recognises that service providers may be members of a professional association. Professional associations such as the Institute of Foresters and the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand help to develop and maintain professional standards by employing codes of ethics as a condition of membership. The proposed accreditation criteria complement these arrangements."
Take the opportunity to review and respond to the paper. The EIANZ Chair, Climate Change Special Interest Section, Tom Davies is contactable through the EIANZ Climate Change SIS LinkedIn Group.
