Climate 2010 is being organized in cooperation with UNEP, IPCC, WMO, FAO and further world bodies. Building on the success of the previous online conferences CLIMATE 2008/KLIMA 2008 and CLIMATE 2009/KLIMA 2009 with more than 1m visits and over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers, this year’s interactive, free of charge online vent will specifically focus on “Climate Change and the sustainable management of water resources”.

We encourage researchers from around the globe, in particular researchers from developing countries, to submit their scientific abstracts online at www.climate2010.net until 31 March 2010 at the latest to the unique CO2-friendly virtual conference, relating to one of the four following categories:

• Category 1: Geochemical and physical impacts of climate change
• Category 2: Socio-economic aspects of Climate Change (relating to water supply and use)
• Category 3: Climate Change, policy-making and sustainable water use
• Category 4: Projects on Climate Change and sustainable water use, in particular education and awareness-raising initiatives
