Details

The aims of the Conference “Climate 2008/ Klima 2008” are to introduce the latest findings on scientific research on climate change, including elements related to its environmental, social, economic and policy aspects; to introduce projects and other initiatives being undertaken in both industrialised and developing countries by universities and scientific institutions, government bodies, NGOs and other stakeholders; and to discuss the problems, barriers, challenges and chances and potentials related to sustainability research projects in general in Europe.
The conference will also encourage more networking and information exchange among participants and hopefully catalyse new cooperation initiatives and possibly new projects.
