THURSDAY 5th December 2002
Seminar on Climate Change - Brazil 2002
This seminar focuses on the activities of Working Group III (Mitigation of Climate Change) of the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change - IPCC. In order to make results and findings of the IPCC´s Assessment reports on emissions, methologies and technology transfer available to a broarder Brazilian public a series of seminars is organised by the Brazilian institutions CENBIO, CentroClima and BRASUS within the framework of a specific national dessemination project. Date and venue of the 3rd LAMNET workshop in Brasilia have been chosen in a way that all LAMNET members are given the chance to participate in this seminar on Climate Change and benefit from complementary themes and activities.
