Electronic Roundtables
The objective is to hold electronic roundtable discussions on key themes and issues of Climate Change issues. Composing the discussing groups will be a community of interest - including academic and policy research institutions, international agencies, and civil society advocacy networks. Electronic roundtables add value because they overcome constraints of space, time and funding, garnering participation that would not be otherwise possible. The project will hold regular e-Roundtables.
