October 24-26, 2006 - Symposium on Western Fuels: 20th International Conference on Lignite, Brown, and Subbituminous Coals in Denver, Colorado. The goal of the Symposium on Western Fuels is to provide a forum in which industry, government, and research organizations can share up-to-date information on the role of lignite, brown, and subbituminous coals in meeting future energy demands. Low-rank fuels have unique properties that present challenges and opportunities related to meeting future environmental regulations and in the development and application of advanced technologies. The 20th Symposium will include the following session topics: Fuel Properties and Upgrading, Environmental Issues and Control Technologies, Carbon Sequestration, and more. For more information visit the conference website. 
October 23-27, 2006 - NOAA's 31st Annual Climate Diagnostics and Prediction Workshop in Boulder, Colorado. Our gathering this year will focus on three themes: (i) climate predictions/predictability, (ii) climate attribution, and (iii) the NOAA Climate Test Bed. We will combine presentations on existing, as well as recent advances in scientific understanding and capabilities with discussions on requirements for decision support. The outcome of this year’s workshop will include an assessment of current operational prediction capabilities, identifying opportunities for advance, and exploring new products to support regional decision making. The workshop will provide enhanced opportunity for participants to exchange information, ideas, and opinions through panel discussions and thematic, focus talks. For more information visit the conference website.

October 24-27, 2006 - Rapid Climate Change International Science Conference in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Some models predict that rapid (decadal-scale) climate change could occur under the scenario of global warming that is likely to happen over the next century. The Atlantic Ocean's thermohaline circulation (THC) is thought to have played a key role in rapid changes in the past and to have the potential to do so in the future, although other processes may also cause rapid climate change to occur. This conference will explore the scientific understanding of rapid climate change, with a main but not exclusive focus on the role of the THC in such change. For more information visit the conference website.
October 26-27, 2006 - CARBON EXPO ASIA 2006 - in Beijing, China. CARBON EXPO ASIA is a result of a successful three year partnership between Koelnmesse, World Bank and IETA for Carbon Expo in Cologne. Over three years, the partners have led Carbon Expo to become the leading trade show and conference in the Climate Change Market. Jointly organized by Koelnmesse, World Bank and IETA, CARBON EXPO ASIA will be the Asian platform for project developers, specialists and buyers of CERs operating in the region as well as in the international arena of Emission Trading and Climate Change industry. With its unique concept of international exhibition and conference, CARBON EXPO ASIA is set to become the leading carbon trade fair in Asia. For more information visit the conference website.
October 31-November 4, 2006 - GWEA 2006: Symposium on Impact Evaluation of Global Warming and Approach to Risk in Taipei, Taiwan. The symposium focuses on (1) Features and connotations of the climate change in East Asia , (2) Impacts on ecosystem and adaptation, (3) Impacts on food production and adaptation, (4) Impacts on human health and society , (5) Risk as sessment on global warming , to visualize impact of global warming in the near future and examine risks of the effects. As a consequence, when the situation of East Asia becomes well-defined, a wealth of new knowledge will be attained regarding the climate change impacts at a level that would prevent the area from anthropogenic interference, which is the ultimate goal in the international framework of the global warming study. For more information visit the conference website.
November 5-9, 2006 - SETAC North America 27th Annual Meeting in Montréal, Québec, Canada. The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) invites you to join us at the SETAC North America 27th Annual Meeting to be held at the Palais de Congres in Montréal. The meeting theme: Global Environment & Sustainability - Sound Science in a World of Diversity. Meeting topics will include: Metals in the Environment, Environmental Chemistry, Emerging Pollutants, Contaminated Sediments, Environmental Assessment, Ecotoxicology, Life-cycle Assessment, Environmental Policy and Management, Quantitative tools for assessing ecotoxicology data, Remediation/Restauration, and Interactive poster. For more information visit the conference website.
November 6-17, 2006 - Responding to Climate Change 2006 in Nairobi, Kenya. Whilst it is widely accepted the consequences of global warming will fall disproportionately upon developing countries, the developed world will also experience the effects of climate change. The extreme climatic events of 2005 may be an indication that the increased frequency of such events, predicted to be a cause of climate change, is finally starting to occur. This increase can only confound the notion that climate change is an unquestionably international problem that must be tackled holistically by all sectors of society across the globe. For more information visit the conference website.
November 7-8, 2006 - 2nd International Young Scientists' Global Change Conference in Beijing, China. The Young Scientists’ Global Change Conference offers a prestigious platform for selected young scientists to present their research findings to one another and to leading scientists in the field. It is intended to stimulate competition, encourage excellence, reward outstanding performance and foster the development of personal and institutional networks. For more information visit the conference website.
November 8-11, 2006 - Ecomondo 2006 in Rimini, Italy. Now at its 9th edition, Ecomondo has strengthened the original project - Ricicla - by in-depth coverage of the numerous issues linked with the concept of "environmental sustainability". The successful result has been that of bringing together in one specialized qualified space the major sectors and markets involved: the complete waste cycle, water and contaminated sites, air and soil quality, urban environment quality, risk and safety for the population. Ecomondo has therefore confirmed its role as the leading event that best brings together the environment and the market. For more information visit the conference website.
