Furthermore, the advanced partners of the EMMECARE teaming project, Dr Philippe Ciais, Prof Jos Lelieveld and Prof. Markku Kulmala as well as CARE-C’s Prof Jean Sciare, Dr Panos Hadjnicolaou,  and Dr George Zittis are amongst the speakers and conveners of the main conference.

This international conference seeks to engage a very broad spectrum of key stakeholders, including scientists, academicians and policymakers, as well as political and civic leaders. The thematic agenda will examine the scientific foundations and the model projections of the climate crisis, as it evolves in a region that is widely recognized as one of the principal climate change “hot spots” of the world. Strategies for mitigation and adaptation will be presented, and their financial, legal and moral aspects will be debated.

The conference is supported by the EMME-CARE and the Edu4Climate projects.
