Climate Change Conference 2012
CONFERENCE SERVICE PROJECT ANNOUNCED
Service Project with Friends of the Cedar River Watershed
Wednesday, July 11 9:00 – 13:00
Participants will assist in restoring forested wetlands and re-vegetated shoreline at Madrona Park, an urban park on the shores of Lake Washington within the City of Seattle. Madrona Park contains recreational areas, urban forests, beaches, and a restored shoreline and small creek mouth tributary to Lake Washington. This urban refuge provides valuable rearing habitat for Juvenile Chinook salmon and other fish that congregate near small creek mouths along the lake’s shoreline.
The targeted areas for our project includes the 1.5 acre forested wetlands, a spring-fed creek, and Lake Washington’s shoreline. Restoration tasks include removing invasive species and weeding and mulching existing restoration plantings. Project tasks are organized for the adventurous and all skills levels.
Following the service project, participants will enjoy lunch in the Madrona Park picnic area, on the shores of Lake Washington, looking out at Mount Rainer if the Seattle weather cooperates.
This service project is free to all delegates but registration is required.
Project partners include: Seattle Parks and Recreation, Friends of Madrona Woods

Welcome to the website of the Fourth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses. In 2012, the conference will be held in The University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA from 12-13 July 2012.
The Climate Change Conference is for any person with an interest in, and concern for, scientific, policy and strategic perspectives in climate change. It will address a range of critically important themes relating to the vexing question of climate change. Plenary speakers will include some of the world’s leading thinkers in the fields of climatology and environmental science, as well as numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by researchers and practitioners.
Participants are invited to submit a proposal for an in-person paper presentation, workshop/interactive session, poster/exhibits session, or a jointly presented colloquium. Parallel sessions are loosely grouped into streams reflecting different perspectives or disciplines. Each stream also has its own talking circle, a forum for focused discussion of issues. For those unable to attend the conference in person, virtual participation is also available.
We encourage all presenters to submit written papers to The International Journal of Climate Change: Impacts and Responses, a fully refereed academic journal. Virtual participants may also submit papers for consideration by the journal. All registered conference participants will receive a complimentary online subscription to the journal. This subscription is valid until one year after the conference end date.
All are encouraged to register and attend this significant and timely conference.
