Climate change and regional response: Impacts and adaptation strategies for public, commercial and private actors (CCRR-2013)
This conference addresses challenges of regional climate change impacts and adaptation in various sectors of private and public action, theory and practice of developing sectorial and integrated adaptation programs, implementation-related issues of programs and options.
Young Researchers Forum: "How to adapt to regional climate change? Perspectives from different disciplines."
This platform shall allow for a broad range of contributions on all CCRR-topics, to be presented exclusively by junior scientists from all fields. Apart from the truly interdisciplinary experience, active participants shall enjoy an enticing atmosphere amongst their peers, where space is given to more daring and provocative hypothesis than is usually invited at most conferences. While no compromises shall be made with scientific rigor, the platform will provide a stage for new and unconventional ideas and hopefully a most fruitful and motivating discussion. Fresh ideas are in high demand.
