From the Amazon to Monsoon Asia to sub-Saharan Africa, regions around the world are facing unprecedented challenges induced by global environmental change. How regions can cope with the consequences of natural and human-driven changes to the Earth's environment, what future changes they can expect, and what the nature of those changes will be is the focus of an Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP) Open Science Conference being held 9-12 November in Beijing. Conference sessions will underscore how regional sustainability challenges can best be met by an integrated, global approach.

The Conference provides a rare opportunity for media to meet and chat with an international array of more than 1,000 global environmental change experts from a variety of natural and social science disciplines. Below is a list of media briefings and additional stories of potential media interest. All media briefings will be held in Convention Hall 1, Level 2.
