About 600 children ages 10 - 13 from close to 100 countries are gathering at the conference in New London, CT to learn about and discuss environmental topics around four major themes: Oceans, Rivers and Waterways; Living on the Edge of Extinction; Indigenous Healing Ways and Energy.

In 1969, Pete Seeger had a dream to build a wooden boat that would serve to bring awareness about the importance of the Hudson River. Now, 35 years later, the Clearwater takes people onto the river, from Albany to New York City, and teaches them the value of keeping the river and all rivers, healthy. The ICCO4 conference coordinates with New London's Tall Ships Celebration, and features 4 environmental education tall ships. Participants to the ICC04 will sail on the ships as part of the conference program.
