We gladly relay the following information regarding the event that will take place at the ULB (Brussels) on the occasion of the release of the new IPCC report.

Our planet is changing as a result of global warming! Interested in better understanding why and how? Come and join us for the presentation of the new IPCC report on Oceans and Cryosphere. This report describes the scientific knowledge about the impact of climate change on oceans and coastal areas, and on poles, ice caps and glaciers. A summary of the report will be presented to press and policy makers on 25 September in Monaco.  

You are all invited to join us for the live stream of this presentation in Brussels. Afterwards, some top Belgian scientists will discuss and clarify the results, and there will also be time for questions and interaction.
