Current Developments
The much-anticipated 2009 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen is currently underway. As climatechange is an important topic that impacts the lives of all the members of our global community, weencourage you to have a look at some of the videos and research papers that focus on environmentalissues and natural resources, which can be found under the field “Environment”, or you can join the Group “Climate Change” and participate in the discussion. You can also contribute to environmental discourse by posting your own research or by posting commentson other users' contributions. We also encourage contributions from a broad spectrum of disciplines,not just the natural sciences-let's make the discussion dynamic!

We at ScienceStage wish everyone a happy, safe, and peaceful holiday season, and we look forward toall of your new video, audio, and document contributions in the upcoming year!
