Workshop on Climate Change
CWiPP hosted a workshop on Climate Change and Well-being in ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ on the 22 November 2007.
The topics discussed stretched across different disciplines, ranging from land use change and peoples' vulnerability to climatic extremes, to our ideas about consumption and whether this leads to greater happiness.
