International Undergraduate Conference on Climate, Water, Weather & Society
20-24 July 2009
East China Normal University, Shanghai, China

Undergraduates in universities and colleges today will be involved in climate-sensitive decision-making within a few years of graduation. Given the sharp increase in the level of concern about global warming (i.e., global warming) and its impacts on society and ecosystems, as witnessed by the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the IPCC and Al Gore, it is urgent that the upcoming (near term) generation of decision makers in industry, government, education, and civil society be fully prepared to address climate-sensitive human activities and ecological processes.

This is the first international undergraduate conference on climate, water, weather and society. The conference provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to gain first-hand experience on how to deal with global change issues on an international level. To this end, the conference will provide participants with simulated sessions on negotiating a climate change treaty.

Undergraduates will benefit from meeting with their peers from other countries to share their experiences, expertise, interests, and views from different environmental perspectives and socio-economic conditions.
