International Conference

RESPONDING TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE CARIBBEAN

Institute for the Study of the Americas, London, June 13-14, 2011

A conference organised jointly by: Institute for the Study of the Americas (ISA, University of London); Centre for Caribbean and Latin American Research & Consultancy (CLARC, at London Metropolitan University); and the International Institute for Environment & Development (IIED).

This policy-focused conference aims to bring academic researchers together with officials from the governments of the Greater Caribbean (both Anglophone and Hispanic), international agencies, and representatives of the private sector and non-government organisations working in the field. It will assess progress to date, highlighting lessons learned: the problems and obstacles as well as successes. By assessing the story to date, the conference will provide an opportunity for policy-makers, scientists, investors and educators to better understand the requirements for effective, forward-looking responses to climate change challenges in the years ahead. A video of the conference panels, together with a conference report, copies of presentations and the text of keynote addresses, will be made available on the web. Papers will also be submitted for publication in relevant journals and considered for publication in an edited book.
