5th On-Line Climate Conference: Climate change and the potential of sustainable technologies for Small Island Developing States
The fifth global online conference presents research from all over the world. The General Secretary of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Programme is Patron of CLIMATE 2012. The focus of the 2012 conference ‘is climate change, island states and sustainable technologies’.
It is already the fifth year that the global online climate conference CLIMATE 2012 will be taking place, exclusively online. The organizers expect to welcome thousands of e-delegates during the conference week. From 5–9 November 2012, researchers, businesses, government agencies, NGOs and the general public will be able to discuss climate change as well as the potential and opportunities for, and provided by, the use of sustainable technologies in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) on this website:

The theme of this year's five-day exclusively virtual conference is ‘climate change, island states and sustainable technologies’. Participants will be able to read, comment on and discuss around 50 scientific contributions with their authors 24 hours a day. Live webchats with experts and videos illustrating the impact that changes in the weather and climate variation are already having will be available every day, whilst access will also be provided to an extensive library on climate issues and a database of hundreds of climate projects.
Dr Ibn Chambas, General Secretary of the ACP group of states (African, Caribbean and Pacific), is the Patron of the fifth international online conference, CLIMATE 2012, and welcomes the fact that “the conference organisers from the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences are drawing attention to the regions of the world which are already having to deal with the effects of climate variation and climate change.” This year’s focus on small island states is especially relevant, as most, if not all, of these states are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change.
