Global Warming Conference 2008 : Accra Climate Change Talks 2008

Date: 21-27 August 2008
Place: Accra, Ghana

AWG-LCA 3 and AWG-KP 6

The next round of United Nations climate change negotiations will take place in Accra, Ghana, from 21-27 August. The Accra Climate Change Talks will take forward work on a strengthened and effective international climate change deal under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, as well as work on emission reduction rules and tools under the Kyoto Protocol. This is part of a negotiating process that will be concluded in Copenhagen at the end of 2009. Over a thousand participants are expected to attend the Accra meeting, which is the third major UNFCCC gathering this year.

The venue for the sessions is the Accra International Conference Center (AICC). A limited number of side events and exhibits focused on the Accra Climate Talks will take place at Accra, for which the on-line application process is now closed.

Managing Water in a Climate Changing World:
Implications for Irrigation, Drainage and Flood Control
A USCID Water Management Conference

Date : September 17-20, 2008
Place: Portland, Oregon

Conference
Global climate changes are modifying the way water is managed in the American West. Some of the resulting impacts of climate change, such as increased crop water demands, are only beginning to be felt, while others, such as earlier melting of mountain snowpacks, are already well advanced. Water managers will increasingly be confronted with decision situations where old rules and old expectations no longer apply, and new design practices, new operating rules and new management practices — indeed, even new legislation altering water management policies and water rights — will be required. This Conference is designed to help prepare water managers for these changes.

The Conference will acquaint managers with the methods used by scientists to project the coming water environment, the nature of the impacts on water to be expected, and the ways in which global and regional changes affect Western irrigation, drainage and flood control. It will also allow managers to share the initial responses their agencies and districts have made to the changing environment and compare those responses with ones made by others.
