Living with a warming ocean:

European research and public perception of climate change impacts in the marine environment

15 September 2011, Royal Academy of Sciences, Brussels

Leading experts in climate change science will discuss mitigation and adaptation strategies and public perception of climate change impacts. The conference will be chaired by Quentin Cooper, presenter of ‘The Material World’ on BBC Radio 4, the UK's most-listened-to science programme. 

The Conference will present key findings of the CLAMER project:

  • Main messages from a state-of-the-art overview of EU research results on marine climate change, which summarizes all existing scientific outputs.

Discussions will be organized in the afternoon session, on the following themes:

  • Climate Change Impacts and European Marine Policies;
  • Science & Public Awareness: How Can the Outputs of Marine Climate Change Research be Better Communicated & Valorised to the Public?
  • Organization of the European Marine Climate Research Community and Agendas in the Future.
