GAIA - Understanding Global Policy Issues in Climate Change
Abstract
The impacts of global climate change are wide-ranging and profound. Adapting policies to deal with public health, economic, and security issues that will arise will be a difficult and challenging process. To help address these concerns the GAIA (Global Assimilation of Information for Action) project is being initiated at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to bring together climate, public health, economic, and security subject matter experts to focus attention on creating policy issues to address the most important problems facing the world. Plans for GAIA's first year activities as well as future directions will be discussed.
