Climate Change: act and adapt

The biggest annual conference on European environment policy organised in Brussels turned the spotlight this year on the multi-faceted challenges of climate change.
• What are the prospects for reaching a new global deal to control climate change at the crucial Copenhagen conference in December?
• How can we best 'climate-proof' our economies against the impacts of present and future climate change?
• How can we create a carbon-free society by 2050?
• How can we ensure action to address climate change best serves conservation of the ecosystems that support life on Earth?
• Can the media and society change climate attitudes?
• How to mobilise local authorities...

These were some of the many questions Green Week 2009 was examining in three days of discussion and debate between high-level speakers from Europe and beyond.
Green Week was a unique opportunity for exchanges of experience and good practice.
A lot of participants attended from EU institutions, business and industry, non-governmental organisations, public authorities, the scientific community and academia.
