Overview
Regional Empowerment for Change
The fail of the mega climate summit in Copenhagen in December 2009 to achieve a global climate treaty that is fair, ambitious and balanced has strengthened the need for local and regional contributions and solutions to fight climate change.
Northern societies are vulnerable to the predicted changes in climate and life circumstances due to Global Warming.
Jokkmokk Winter Conferences 2011 focuses strongly on developing and discussing solutions for a sustainable future in arctic and subarctic regions.
