*International Graduate Conference on Climate Change and People*

(With a Focus on Greater South Asia from Kyrgyzstan to Bangladesh)**

*15-19 November 2010, Kathmandu, NEPAL*

The projected impacts of climate change - many of which are potentially
irreversible - will affect everyone on the Earth. The deterioration of the
earth's ecosystems will jeopardize human health; precipitation patterns;
water and food supplies; energy supplies; and the integrity of natural
systems. Calling for unified global action against climate change, The Small
Earth Nepal and the Consortium for Capacity Building (University of
Colorado) are organizing* *a regionally-focused International Graduate
Conference on Climate Change and People. The event is set in collaboration
with the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, Government of Nepal; the
Centre of Research for Environment Energy and Water (Nepal), the Asian
Institute of Technology (Thailand) and the International Research Center for
River Basin Environment, University of Yamanashi (Japan). The goal of the
conference is to bring together various scholars, graduate students and
climate change practitioners to equip and mobilize Young Minds on climate
change and related societal issues*. *The conference is supported by Asia
Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) under the CAPaBLE Program.
The conference is also co-sponsored by UNESCO. Additional sponsors are
welcome to join.**

The conference is mainly focused on the multidisciplinary capacity building
of graduate students and scientists in various disciplines. The event will
feature the sharing of knowledge and experience by experts and participants
on "Climate Affairs", from climate-related science to impacts to policy &
economics to ethics & equity. Climate Affairs is a concept which aims to
enhance the "eco-generation" of climate leaders and climate agents in their
respective academic and practical areas of concern.

The Conference activities concentrate to provide the following:

   - To build the awareness and scientific capacity of young students from
   multiple disciplines while fostering and enhancing networks for sustainable
   development options in the region.
   - To equip graduate students with usable knowledge on the importance of
   multidisciplinary activities in addressing climate change, regardless of
   their home academic discipline.
   - To enable participants to formulate a multinational networking group to
   develop baseline skills needed to understand climate change mitigation,
   adaptation and prevention measures.
   - To create awareness among community and social leaders for identifying
   their roles in effective ways to combat the influences of a changing
   climate.
