Objectives

Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD)/ Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE), in coordination with the DR Chapter of the International Center for Environmental and Sustainable Development Studies (CIEMADeS), present a forum titled: “Climate Change: Understanding the Science and Impacts of Global Warming.” This conference is the first in a series of three climate change activities taking place during 2007, which, under the title: “Climate Change: The Impact and What Can We Do About It,” are designed to create awareness and spark individual action. The conference will explore the science of global warming, discuss the regional impacts associated with climate change, and highlight the importance of monitoring for mitigation and adaptation.

The objectives of the forum are to: increase public awareness and spark individual action; enable multi-stakeholder participation and dialogue; bring together climate change professionals in order to assess and disseminate emerging lessons, proven practices, and shared experiences; identify key strategies to minimize the impacts of climate change; foster debate and create consensus about climate change and global warming; and promote research and monitoring of climate change in the Dominican Republic.
