The Danish Government as host of the UN Conference on Climate Change (COP15) to be held in Copenhagen at the end of 2009 supports this Congress organised by IARU as part of the run-up to the COP 15. The purpose of the congress is to try and capture some of the enormous research energy currently being devoted to the elucidation, mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
Thus, the focus of the congress is on providing a picture of the "big issues" that the scientific community feels it is necessary that policy makers are aware of in order to make enlightened decisions with respect to the balancing of adaptation and mitigation in the societal response to climate change.
Romain Pirard will participate to the conference "The IARU International Scientific Congress on Climate Change". His presentation will focus on “Providing financial support where action takes place: “Compensated Successful Efforts” for REDD”, and will take place during the Session 15 - Avoiding Land-Cover Change To Reduce Carbon Emissions (March 10).
