Dear visitors, we got a message from Rob D. van den Berg, Chair of the Steering Committee at the International Workshop on Evaluating Climate Change and Development in Alexandria, Egypt, that just started today, May 10th and will contunue 3 more days.

Dear Participants,

We hope you will have a safe trip to Alexandria and hope to welcome you there to the International Conference on Evaluating Climate Change and Development. With more than 250 participants we really cannot call it a Workshop anymore!

The Steering Committee and the chairs of the parallel sessions have worked very hard to prepare the program and to ensure an interesting, challenging and promising meeting. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina has made its infrastructure available and will ensure a smooth running event. An Egyptian committee has prepared the opening Egypt session on Saturday, May 10 and the public event on Tuesday, May 12, when students will gather to learn more about climate change and its potential impact on Egypt and the world. The secretariat in Washington has worked tirelessly to coordinate efforts, travel and logistical arrangements and keep the website up to date.

Meanwhile, the subject of climate change and development is gaining prominence month by month. More alarming reports are appearing all the time. Sir Nicholas Stern has called climate change the single greatest market failure in recent decades. Investments needed to replace greenhouse gas emissions are calculated to be more than 23 trillion US dollars. The northern polar ice cap may disappear in summer within a decade. Warnings increase that we may soon reach a point where irreparable harm is done to our environment.
