The International Scientific Conference “Our Common Future under Climate Change” will take place at UNESCO (Paris) in July 2015.

http://www.commonfuture-paris2015.org/

This four-day conference will be the largest forum for the scientific community to come together ahead of the 21st UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP21), which will be hosted by France in December 2015 (“Paris Climat 2015”). Building on the results of IPCC 5th Assessment Report (AR5), the Conference will address key issues concerning climate change in the broader context of global change. It will offer an opportunity to discuss solutions for both mitigation and adaptation issues. The Conference will also welcome Side Events organized by different stakeholders.

The conference is organized under the umbrella of ICSU, Future Earth, UNESCO and major French research institutions, with the support of the French Government.

The deadline for submissions has been extended until 22 March 2015.

From observation to prediction in terrestrial systems

Climate and land use change are key factors influencing the terrestrial hydrological system which need to be managed by society in the coming decades. These changes act and provoke system reactions on different spatial and temporal scales, which result in immense challenges for environmental and hydrological research. Terrestrial environmental research has to tackle these challenges.
New approaches are needed to detect complex interaction and feedback mechanisms between the various compartments of the terrestrial system and to identify long-term trends in observed states and fluxes. Therefore, the development and implementation of large-scale, long-term, and integrated environmental research infrastructures has become more and more important during the last years across all scientific disciplines.
