Climate change: Impacts and Opportunities

British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham

16–17 June 2010

£55 (inc. VAT. This fee covers refreshments, lunches and and evening buffet reception)

Adapting to climate change will go beyond knowing what the future temperature might be or how much more (or less) rainfall we might expect. It means understanding the sensitivity of landscapes to likely changes in weather patterns, and how the natural and urban environment responds. Climate change also brings challenges and opportunities in the energy sector, all of which are inextricably tied to environmental impact and legislated mitigation efforts.The Climate Change Act 2008 begins to address some of these issues, but real economic impacts will likely require significantly more assessment.

This conference is aimed at UK institutions and businesses that are likely to be impacted by both climate change and the 2008 Climate Change Act. Using specific case studies, we will highlight the broad range of environmental impacts due to climate change, the equally broad range of opportunities due to climate change, and the approach that can be adopted to properly assess and develop adaptation strategies. Speakers include:

· Professor Anne Glover — Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland

· Dr Chris West — Director, UK Climate Impacts Programme

· Professor Andrew Gouldson — Director, ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economics & Policy

· Mr Chris Murray — Director, UK Transmission, National Grid

· Dr Stephen Brown — Director, Carbon Capture and Storage C02 Sense Yorkshire

· Professor Mercedes Maroto-Valer — Director of the Centre for Innovation in Carbon Capture and Storage, Nottingham University

· Professor Dermot Roddy — Science City Professor of Energy, University of Newcastle

· Mr Rowan Douglas — Chairman, Willis Research Network, Willis Group Limited

· BGS experts on climate change, carbon capture and storage,groundwater flooding, land use and development, ground conditions, ground stability, health and ground source heat pumps
