Deltas in Times of Climate Change Conference Rotterdam (September 29 - October 1, 2010)
This major international conference provides a powerful opportunity for exchanging information on how climate change is impacting river deltas and how deltas are responding, as well as to create and strengthen partnerships between delta regions and organizations.
Two days of the conference will be dedicated to science, one day to policy issues and international cooperation between Delta institutions. The conference pursues three main goals:
- exchange of up-to-date top science on climate change and delta planning
