2018 Special Focus: Engaging with Policy on Climate Change

The Tenth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses features research addressing the following themes:

  1. Scientific Evidence

    • Paleoclimatology: the earth’s climate in a long view
    • Climate change today: examining the data
    • Ice cap reduction and glacial melt
    • Sea level change
    • Floods, drought, forest fires, hurricanes, and other sporadic events
    • Albedo or measuring the earth’s reflectiveness
    • Meteorology and climate informatics
    • Equilibria and disequilbria: change processes and countervailing tendencies
    • Climate measurement processes, methodologies, and technologies
    • Reading complex, dynamic, and unstable systems
    • Developing local and global climate models
    • Change scenarios: slow, rapid, abrupt, or episodic
  2. Assessing Impacts in Divergent Ecosystems

    • Ocean currents and el Niño
    • Riverine ecosystem impacts
    • Mountain ecosystem impacts
    • Coastal ecosystem impacts
    • Marine ecosystem impacts
    • Forest and grassland ecosystem impacts
    • Impacts on wilderness and protected areas
    • Impacts on specific biomes
    • Impacts on biodiversity, potential extinctions
    • Hardiness zone migration
    • Regional variations: temperature and rainfall
  3. Human Impacts and Impacts on Humans

    • Anthropogenic factors in climate change: determining the relative contribution of natural and human causes
    • Impacts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
    • Land use patterns, agriculture, and livestock husbandry and deforestation as factors in climate change
    • Impacts on humans: agriculture, fish stocks, food supply, health
    • Human settlements and sea level rise
    • Impacts on humans: water supply, desertification
    • Impacts on humans of intense weather events, natural disasters, and ecological surprises
    • Impacts of climate change in the developing world
  4. Technical, Political, and Social Responses

    • Environmental policies in response to climate change
    • Controversy and denial: politics, the media, and scientists with dissenting views
    • The international politics of climate change
    • The past, present, and future of international agreements
    • Education and awareness for management of global climate change
    • Protected areas and preservation of biodiversity: "corridoring" and other strategies
    • Strategies for sustainability
    • Human adaptive strategies
    • Technologies of mitigation: carbon dioxide sequestration, solar shades, and other processes
    • Alternative and renewable energy sources: technologies, policies, and strategies
    • Carbon taxes, offsets, and trading
    • Emission standards
    • Climate ethics and the precautionary principle
    • Eco-development, eco-efficiency
