Proceedings of the first NRP-II Symposium on Climate Change Research

Several policy-makers and representatives from community organisations attended the meeting, the first of its kind. It was primarily aimed at discussing the work in progress during the second phase of the programme. A secondary aim of the meeting was to initiate an effort to stimulate the integration of research within the programme around specific problem areas, such as the impacts of climate change on ecosystems or land use and the possibilities for national or international climate policies. Discussions were lively. The unreviewed proceedings include short papers and posters on almost all the projects either underway or finished.
