Climate Change – Science and Solutins
The arctic is melting, the climate is changing, and man made activities are accelerating global warming. The scientific basis is extensive, and models project how this may affect our future. Solutions are on the table, but are we capable of taking the necessary actions and decisions in order to create a convenient future for our children and their children?
Polar Observations and Global Effects
The International Polar Year (IPY) has initiated international collaborative research projects focusing on various aspects of climate change. Renewable energy and energy security are on top of the political agendas. Environmental issues, sustainability, and human health and conditions in a changing climate are hot topics.
Environment, Economics and the Politics of Change
Thirty five years ago Limits to Growth stated that it is possible to establish sustainable ecological and economic stability. Twenty years ago the Brundtland commission, appointed by the United Nations, delivered A global agenda for change. Today the Stern review and IPCC reports again call for international response and collective action.
Focus on Climate Action
Science week 2007 will focus on action, and will emphasize transatlantic and international cooperation in science, technology and innovation in order to find sustainable climate change solutions. Please join scientist and policymakers as they focus on science as an important basis for policies, and discuss key issues in establishing political action.
Transatlantic Collaboration
The Royal Norwegian Eembassy’s “Forum for Research, Innovation and Higher Education” is instrumental in our work to increase transatlantic collaboration, and the annual Science Week is an important instrument. This year the opening day emphasizes basic science as a key to technological solutions. The Kavli prizes highlight this.
The conference will present outstanding research and provide an arena for creating new collaborations. Thematic workshops span from climate change, polar research, environment and human health to innovation and cross disciplinary research collaborations.
A debate session will discuss science and technology as solution providers for policymaking and for economic development. Significant panelists are invited in collaboration with the British Embassy and the Climate Policy Center.
"Science and technology, while good friends of great importance, cannot save humanity. Instead, only humane reasoning and the struggle to foster just human relationships will keep civilization from using the accomplishments of science to destroy itself." - Hans Bethe
