Vision papers
To facilitate the discussions, we will ask each participant to prepare, prior to the workshop, a short synthetic statement (ca 300-500 words) that will highlight your view on the desirable future for the Earth (in approximately year 2050), and the best pathways to reach this future. These statements/vision papers will be posted below. Please e-mail your paper to Barb Petruzzi at petruzzi@ucar.edu before the 1st October 2008.
