CCVC 2012 - Climate Change Volunteer Conference 2012

Dear Sir/Madam,
This is to announce the call for participation at the Climate Change Volunteer Conference 2012 (CCVC12), 3rd - 7th August 2012 at Royal Eco Hotel, 26 Brook St, London, W1K 5DQ, United Kingdom.
Background
The United Nations Climate Change Conference COP17 2011 in Durban, South Africa highlighted the major challenges and opportunities associated with climate change as we move towards post 2012 carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction targets. In January 2008, the UK raised the bar by announcing a target of cutting CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050. Innovation will be a core part of the way forward. A new system is needed that fosters sustainable, low carbon and resource productive innovation - short, medium and long-term. Designers, innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, consumers and governments all have a role to play in the change that is needed.
Concept
CCVC 12 themed “Impacts of Climate Change on the Environment" Global Warming Policy and Markets will provide a platform to discuss the future opportunities and challenges related to the design, development and commercialization of low carbon innovation, technologies, products and services.
