The Centre aims to work with international communities to address concerns for population health, environmental sustainability and economic opportunity. The Centre exists to develop research competence, strategic planning, leadership and relevant professional skills to assist developing communities in dealing with rapid economic growth and its associated negative impacts. Since its opening in 2001, the Centre has become a tremendously active Academic Centre with an inspiring commitment to serving present and future generations via education and training, joint research, consultancy and outreach programs via the development of partnerships with key international academic, government and non-government stakeholders across China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam.
