International experts will discuss the future of climate change research following the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report at this special event. Our speakers will share their perspectives on the cutting-edge of science as well as the ecological, economic, policy, and social science dimensions of the climate challenge.
This conference will illuminate the future of the climate research agenda and we invite you to join us.
We have leading international speakers including a co-chair from each IPCC AR5 Working Group and several IPCC lead authors.
