IAN KIERNAN
Ian Kiernan is Chairman and Founder
of Clean Up Australia and Clean Up the World and an internationally
respected environmentalist.
Educated at The Armidale School in Northern NSW, Ian became a builder in
the construction industry, specialising in historic restorations.
Throughout his life, Ian has also been a passionate yachtsman, sailing
competitively for more than 40 years.
In 1986/87 Ian fulfilled a long-held dream by representing Australia in
the BOC Challenge solo around-the-world yacht race. It was during the BOC
Challenge that Ian saw and was appalled by the amount of rubbish choking
the world's oceans.
He committed himself to do something about it on his return, starting in
his own backyard - Sydney Harbour. With the support of a committee of
friends, he organised a community event - Clean Up Sydney Harbour on
Sunday 8 January 1989.
The huge success of the first Clean Up event in 1989 sparked national
interest. In 1990, the first Clean Up Australia Day took place. Again, the
response of Australians was astounding. More than 300,000 Australians
volunteered their time to help make a difference to the health of their
local environment.
Since then more than 7 million people have heeded the call through annual
Clean Up Australia Days. In June 1991, Ian and his team were invited by
the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to a proposal for a global
Clean Up campaign.
Ian signed an agreement with the UNEP to manage and promote Clean Up the
World. The results were staggering. During three days more than 30 million
people in 80 countries participated in the Australian initiative.
Since then Clean Up the World has grown to encompass some 40 million
people from more than 120 countries.
