  Hi  Louisette,
  
  Registration  is still open for our upcoming educational forum. We hope to see you there! 
  
  Educational  Forum: Climate Change Update
  science, policy, and  business implications
  
  What  are the current environmental and economic business implications of climate  change? As climate conditions worsen, how will government policies developed  from the Western Climate Initiative and agreements from December’s UN  Climate Change Conference in Cancun affect your operations? Presented as a  follow-up to January 2010’s Educational Forum: The Implications of  Copenhagen, this educational forum will highlight the risks and  opportunities your organization could face as a result of current climate  change science and resulting policy. We will be led by expert representatives  in government, NGOs, and academia.
