Specific Guidelines
Our aim with the conference and subsequent publications is to provide direction for the development of socio-economic strategies to cope with the rural and regional impacts of climate change.  The focus for papers and presentations should ideally include a) an understanding the risk, b) how this will impact on people, businesses, industry sectors etc, and c) strategies that might be adopted to assist with reducing the risk and minimising socio-economic vulnerability.
