WorldWatch Institute's 13th Annual State of the World 2009 Symposium, January 15, 2009:
About the Event:
The year 2009 will be pivotal for the Earth's climate. Scientists have warned that we have only a few years to reverse the rise in greenhouse gas emissions and help avoid abrupt and catastrophic climate change. The world community has agreed to negotiate a new climate agreement in Copenhagen in December 2009.
What must we do in the 21st century-especially in 2009 and the years just following-to head off the kind of climate catastrophe that many scientists now see as likely?
Please join leading thinkers in climate change mitigation and adaptation for an afternoon briefing that will explore the visionary next steps required to create an international climate change agreement.
RSVP to Kimberly Rogovin at 202.452.1999 ext. 530 or krogovin@worldwatch.org no later than January 9, 2009
