World Wide Views on Global Warming

At this day-long event, selected participants from over 40 countries explore global warming in-depth and work toward recommendations for the December United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. The Museum is among several sites across the country that are participating in this worldwide event, and 100 Greater Boston residents will be chosen to join.

Organized by the Danish Board of Technology, these global deliberations offer participants the opportunity to join an international conversation about environmental policy options that affect us both locally and globally. Consider a variety of questions regarding emission reduction, implementation, and funding; watch videos from worldwide experts and advisors; and share policy recommendations electronically with participants at other sites. At the end of the day, the sites send these recommendations to the United Nations for consideration before its deliberations to replace the expiring Kyoto Protocol.

The Museum also hosts a follow-up event on Sunday, September 27 to share results of the local and global discussions with friends and family, policymakers, and the public.

The application period has ended. Thank you for your interest.

This Boston area event is being developed and planned by the Museum of Science in partnership with the Brookfield Institute and the Boston University School of Public Health.
