The new report, written by over a hundred experts from around the world, provides a wealth of information on how to capture, transport and store CO2, as well as on costs and potential for mitigation of climate change. It also discusses which risks may be expected and whether CCS can be compatible with current legal frameworks.</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) was approved in a three-day process involving over a hundred governments. The SPM, as well as a webcast of the press conference and a UNEP press release, are available on <A href="http://www.ipcc.ch">www.ipcc.ch</A>.</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> Highlights of the Summary for Policymakers include:</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> - CCS has the potential to reduce overall climate change mitigation costs and increase flexibility in achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions.</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> - The use of CCS for large-scale power plants (the potential application of major interest) still remains to be implemented</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> - CCS enables the control of the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel-based production of electricity or hydrogen, which in the longer term could reduce part of the dispersed CO2 emissions from transport and distributed energy supply systems.</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> - Most modelling as assessed in this report suggests that CCS systems begin to deploy at a significant level when CO2 prices begin to reach approximately 25 - 30 US$/tCO2.</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> - Available evidence suggests that worldwide, it is likely that there is a technical potential of at least about 2,000 GtCO2 (545 GtC) of storage capacity in geological formations. This is likely sufficient to cover the demand for geological storage over the century. </DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> - Depending on the type of capture and storage, CCS would add 0.01 - 0.05 US$/kWh to the cost of electricity production.</DIV><DIV style="text-align: left;"> It is expected that the full final text of the report is available on by the beginning of December. A text still subject to copy-editing will be posted on the IPCC website in the coming weeks.

Although the seminar is mainly for UK, France and African researchers, applications from other European-based researchers will be considered.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Seminar context</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Climate change and Africa: Africa is widely held to be particularly vulnerable to climate change due to a combination of naturally high levels of climate variability, high reliance on climate sensitive activities such as rain-fed cultivation and limited economic and institutional capacity to cope with and adapt to climate variability and change. High exposure and low adaptive capacity is experienced on an individual through to national level so that the ability to anticipate, respond and recover effectively from climate related shocks is limited. This applies to subsistence farmers cultivating in marginal conditions with limited opportunities for action right up to national activities which are often constrained by, inter alia, lack of financial resources and skills. These problems are manifest in the effects of events such as Sahelian desiccation, drought and famine in the Horn of Africa and major floods in East Africa and Mozambique. High vulnerability to natural climate variability is the context within which climate change will begin to appear in Africa and provides the stimulus for this seminar.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Climate-society interactions: The key attributes of the main African agro-ecosystems forming the basis of food production in the continent such as rainfed cultivation, crop-livestock systems, pastoral and fisheries based subsistence, exhibit variability in output over time. ‘Variability, dynamic, disequilibrium, uncertainty, resilience, sensitivity’ are words that underpin current understanding of natural resource systems in Africa. Central to these examples is the importance of rainfall variability - whether it is the periodic variations that drive fluctuations in rangeland productivity in southern Africa, the decline in rainfall in the West African Sahel since the early 1970s - or catastrophic floods and droughts.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Cause and effect between climate variability/extremes and disaster is, however, mediated by human agency and the outcomes of particular events reflect the interaction of many bio-physical, socio-economic and political factors. Understanding the role of and interaction between climate and the many other stresses present in African societies requires careful empirical analysis of case study situations. Synthesising the results and insights from such studies may provide the basis for developing effective policies to address the challenge of future climate change within a framework that recognises its interactions with other development challenges.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Seminar format</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> The seminar will be conducted in English. Translation facilities will not be available.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> The workshop will run from Monday afternoon to Thursday late afternoon. There will be five half-day sessions organised around the themes listed below. Sessions will be based around key-note presentations and include short presentations by participants along with more interactive formats to encourage participation and discussion.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> We will consider questions such as: How variable is African climate (across different spatial and temporal scales)? How sensitive are natural systems to climate variability and extremes? How do rural people co-exist with climate variability? To what extent have social, political and economic factors affected the process? How can better understanding of climate-society interactions in Africa guide the rapidly growing body of research on climate impacts and adaptation? By addressing these questions our aim is to place the issue of future climate change in context with present-day climate-society linkages in Africa.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> The seminar will provide the opportunity to integrate experiences of young researchers from Africa or with experience of working in Africa within a set of themes likely to include:</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> - Managing water resources variability;</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> - Coastal, lake and wetland-based livelihood systems;</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> - Socio-economic effects of floods and droughts;</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> - Adapting to drought in the Sahel;</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> - Lessons for adaptation to future climate change.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Venue</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> The workshop will be held at the British Council’s premises well situated in the heart of Paris, close to the River Seine and the Invalides (rue de Constantine).</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Scientific co-ordinators</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> Dr Declan Conway (School of Development Studies/Tyndall Centre for Climate Change, University of East Anglia) and Dr Gil Mahé (HSM - Maison des Sciences de l'Eau, Montpellier).
