It gives details on the technical work done in the CIE Divisions and Technical Committees, and mentions some examples of the work in progress, emphasising those in connection with the subject of this conference. Quality lighting is the key to reducing light pollution. CIE is aware of the problem and takes it very seriously. CIE Divisions are working on problems such as glare, quality lighting, light trespass, light pollution and energy efficiency. In this endeavour CIE is also co-sponsoring this conference.
