ABSTRACT[edit | edit source]
"Climate 2008 / Klima 2008" will encourage more networking and information exchange among participants and hopefully catalyze new cooperation initiatives and possibly new joint projects. Besides the refereed scientific papers, we will offer you a chance to discuss the problems, barriers, challenges and chances and potentials related to climate and sustainability research. Special discussion fora and chat rooms will cater for direct interaction with the participant scientists.
Climate 2008 / Klima 2008 is the world's climate neutral Scientific Climate Conference. Everything is online and registration is free.
