FAO Climate Change Days: Share and Learn

Following up on the great success of the 2009 Share Fair (http://www.sharefair.net/) at FAO Headquarters in Rome, on June 21-23, 2010 FAO's interdepartmental working group on climate change will host the FAO Climate Change Days: Share and Learn.

The event will bring together practitioners from all levels of FAO who work on projects relating to climate change issues, as well as key persons from other Rome based agencies. The participants will share their experiences and learn new skills from each other that are needed for effective field work, while widening their networks.

The event will apart from networking and sharing sessions also include training sessions, aimed at exposing participants to various tools and skills that are useful in FAO’s work on climate change.

We hope this meeting will result in enhanced connections, co-operation and networking among professionals working with the same kind of issues in climate change, be they in the field assigned to projects, in regional offices or in Headquarters.
