White Couch

Voices from the Open Meeting

What is the biggest Social challenge of Global Change? Do you see the role of human dimensions research in answering it? More than 40 people visited the "White Couch" in the Rhinelobby to voice their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions about the conference and the role of the human dimensions research to face global change. Thirty percent of the interviewees belonged to projects, and fifty percent came from developing countries. Most of the comments were positive and some of the people interviewed was so excited about the idea of sharing original points of view about the social challenges of global change that requested to be interviewed more than once.
