Jokkmokk Winter Conference 2013<br>
Sustainable Energy - Sustainable Living: Planning for Action<br>
4 February - 7 February 2013</b><br><br>
Jokkmokk Winter Conference <b>on climate change, energy and
sustainable <br>
development</b> is an annual international forum for students,
decision <br>
makers, entrepreneurs and opinion builders from Northern Europe,
North <br>
America and Russia. The conference offers a natural meeting point
for <br>
those working with climate change and an opportunity for developing
<br>
new strategies and initiatives for the North. The Saami perspective
<br>
and reindeer herding is an important pillar for the conference. The
<br>
recommendations and demands raised in the<br>
conference are handed over and discussed with governmental <br>
representatives from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, Canada and
the <br>
US (See below for further information and useful links).<br><br>
The University of Oulu, through the Dept. of Process and
Environmental <br>
Engineering, is organizing a trip to the conference including <br>
transportation and guaranteed participation for up to 4 students
(Note <br>
that the conference has no registration fee but, on the other hand,
<br>
has limited number of available places).<br><br>
If you believe that attending the conference can benefit your
studies <br>
and enrich you university portfolio, you are welcome to contact us.
<br>
Please write me an email (antonio.calo@oulu.fi) including a one
page <br>
(ONE PAGE!) motivation letter with a short description of your
studies <br>
and your primary motivation for attending the event.<br><br>
Best regards,<br>

Jokkmokk Winter Conference is an annual International Climate and
<br>
Energy Forum at the Arctic Circle in Sweden for Students, Early
Career <br>
Professionals, Environmentalists and Decision Makers.<br><br>
<br>
Main issues 2013<br>
A melting Arctic and the world's hunger for metals and energy are
<br>
leading to an increasing interest in exploring the Northern
regions. <br>
At what costs is that to happen and how will it affect people? At
the <br>
same time, a growing number of communities are working on
sustainable <br>
energy and sustainable living solutions. The European Covenant of
<br>
Mayors and its thousands member municipalities committed to climate
<br>
protection are one example. Jokkmokk Winter Conference 2013 focuses
<br>
therefore on the following issues:<br><br>
* A Planet under Stress: How much human activity can
the biosphere afford?<br>
* Climate Change, Energy Production and the Arctic:
conflicts and solutions<br>
* Covenant of Mayors: European municipalities planning
actions for <br>
Sustainable Energy<br>
* Traditional indigenous knowledge: A resource for
today's communities?<br><br>
Why you should register<br><br>
* Unique networking opportunities, skill sharing and up
to date <br>
information about climate change, energy and the Arctic.<br>
* Chance to establish mentor relationships with policy
maker and <br>
sustainable development professionals<br>
* Occasion to enjoy famous traditional Saami Jokkmokk
Winter <br>
Market with more than 40.000 visitors each year<br><br>
Practical information<br>
