COURSES & EVENTS: Climate Change Conference 2010

Overall Theme: Climate Change and its Global Implications for people, ethics and equity

Welcome to the website of the Second International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses. In 2010, the Conference will be held at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia from 8-10 July 2010.

The Climate Change Conference is for any person with an interest in, and concern for, scientific, policy and strategic perspectives in climate change. It will address a range of critically important themes relating to the vexing question of climate change. Plenary speakers will include some of the world’s leading thinkers in the fields of climatology and environmental science, as well as numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by researchers and practitioners.

Participants are also welcome to submit a presentation proposal either for a 30-minute paper, 60-minute workshop, or jointly presented 90-minute colloquium session. Parallel sessions are loosely grouped into streams reflecting different perspectives or disciplines. Each stream also has its own talking circle, a forum for focused discussion of issues. For those unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual participation is also available.

We encourage all presenters to submit written papers to The International Journal of Climate Change: Impacts and Responses, a fully refereed academic journal. Virtual participants may also submit papers for consideration by the Journal. All registered Conference participants will receive a complimentary online subscription to the Journal. This subscription is valid until one year after the Conference end date.

All are encouraged to register and attend this significant and timely Conference.
