Commonwealth Climate Change 2010

The “Commonwealth Climate Change Communication Conference” aims to:

1. introduce the latest findings from research and studies on climate change education and communication and their links with changes in attitudes, perceptions and behaviours;
2. discuss approaches and methods to foster communication on mitigation and adaptation to climate change, as well as the problems, barriers, challenges and potentials related to the promotion of awareness on climate change;
3. to introduce projects and other initiatives being undertaken across the Commonwealth on climate change communication and information, by universities and scientific institutions, government bodies, national and international agencies, NGOs and other stakeholders;
4. foster information exchange among government and non-government organizations active in this field in Commonwealth countries.

Due to the relevance of this event, its scope and the fact that it fully supports the goals of the “Port of Spain Climate Change Consensus” and the “Lake Victoria Commonwealth Climate Change Action Plan” and their further implementation, it will provide a basis for further initiatives in this field, especially in respect of capacity building. The “Commonwealth Climate Change Communication Conference” will congregate several thousand 100 participants , representing government agencies, academics and well-established NGOs from Commonwealth countries.

Last but not least, the “Commonwealth Climate Change Communication Conference” will encourage more networking and information exchange among participants and hopefully catalyze new cooperation initiatives and possibly new projects in Commonwealth countries.
