Aims

CLIMATE 2010/KLIMA 2010’s aims are the following:

to introduce the latest findings from scientific research on climate change and its links and impacts on water cycles, water supply and water management;
to introduce projects and other initiatives being undertaken in both industrialized and developing countries by universities and scientific institutions, government bodies, national and international agencies, NGOs and other stakeholders;
to discuss the problems, barriers, challenges and opportunities and potentials related to promoting the sustainable use of water resources worldwide.

Last but not least, and similar to the previous on-line conferences in 2008 and 2009, CLIMATE 2010/KLIMA 2010 will encourage more networking and information exchange among participants and hopefully catalyze new cooperation initiatives and possibly new projects.
