IMPACTS WORLD 2013 - International conference on climate change effects27 - 30 May 2013
The IMPACTS WORLD 2013 conference aims to develop a new vision for climate impacts research by laying the foundations for regular, community-driven syntheses of climate change impact analyses. It will bring together leading scientists and decision makers from local to international levels. more IMPACTS WORLD 2013 is a discussion-based conference designed to tackle four fundamental challenges:
1. Do the pieces fit together? Climate change will have impacts in a wide range of sectors belonging to both the natural and socio-economic sphere.
2. Can we be sure? Usability and credibility of climate impacts research depends heavily on an understanding of the robustness of impact projections.
3. Do we need a million case studies? For informed decision making, details of climate impacts must be provided at the appropriate geographic scale. From a global perspective, hot spots should be identified. Knowledge should be aggregated based on regional studies.
4. Is anybody listening? Research provides crucial information to global, regional, national and local policy makers and practitioners, to help in devising effective mitigation and adaptation policies.
