APRU World Institute Workshop
Climate Change: Challenges and Strategies for Sustainable Cities
April 4 - 6, 2007, University of California, San Diego
The goal of this by invitation-only APRU World Institute Workshop is to bring together about 50 top researchers
and policy advisors from the public and private sectors to foster understanding and discussion about climate
change in the context of sustainable cities. The scientific consensus is clear that human activity is altering the
world’s climate. There are many manifestations of climate change already seen around the world, such as sea
level rise, melting of glaciers, reduction of mountain snowpack, earlier onset of spring growing seasons, increased
acidification of ocean waters, and changes in severe weather events. While much is known about climate change
at global scales, the capability to model and predict regional and local scale impacts is an area of active research
with preliminary results that have significant potential to inform societal responses. Whether focusing on policy
responses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or designing adaptation and mitigation strategies, scholars and
practitioners need to have the best possible understanding of climate change and its impacts.
Most of the world's population lives in urban areas, primarily in coastal areas. The design and operation of cities
has an impact on global and regional climate processes. Greenhouse gas emissions from energy used in the built
infrastructure, transportation, and industrial activities are significant contributors to climate change and represent
important opportunities for innovation and efficiency. In addition, impacts from changes already underway from
climate conditions, are already affecting city life and operations.
•
International climate scientists from UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and elsewhere will
discuss the latest research on climate change. They will address the latest report from the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change, the body established by the United Nations Environment Program and the World
Meteorological Organization, to inform governments on the scientific consensus on climate change (see
http://www.ipcc.ch). Business leaders, economists, city officials, and others will present research and discuss
responses to regional and local impacts of climate change. The workshop will include interdisciplinary panels to
facilitate dialog and develop relationships between experts in different sectors as we work to shape a more
sustainable future.

APRU World Institute Workshop
“The Role of Universities in Addressing Emerging Public Health Threats in the
Asia Pacific Region."
May 24-26, 2007, School of Public Health, Peking University
•
The goal of the APRU World Institute Workshop is to bring together top researchers and policy advisors to foster dialogue and active exchange on major
public health issues confronting the Asia-Pacific region. The theme for this year’s workshop is “The Role of Universities in Addressing Emerging Public
Health Threats in the Asia-Pacific Region”.
•
Apart from being creators, custodians and disseminators of knowledge, universities have a critical role to play in contributing cooperatively to the
solution of global problems. As vanguards in society’s quest for knowledge, discovery and innovation, universities should be at the forefront of providing
perspective and intellectual leadership on humanity’s path to a sustainable future. In the face of global health threats such as pandemic influenza,
natural catastrophes and climate change, as well as the rising threats of non-communicable diseases, just how responsive are the universities of the
Asia-Pacific region - given their present structures and trajectories - in addressing emerging public health threats of the 21st century?
•
•
•
•
The workshop will focus on three interrelated activities that are central to the mission of universities, namely:
Preparing the Public Health Workforce (Teaching)
Generating Public Health Knowledge (Research)
Influencing Public Health Policy and Practice (Outreach)
•
Invited keynote speakers and interdisciplinary expert panels will explore how best universities in the region might respond to the new demands upon
education and training, research and development, and policy formulation, in the face of emerging public health threats. There will be sharing of country
experiences and opportunities for building relationships for future collaborations. A capstone University Leaders’ Panel Discussion featuring the
Presidents/Vice-Chancellors of the sponsoring universities, who are well-positioned to shape the changing roles their universities will play, will draw the
discussions to a tangible conclusion.
•
Professor Li Ming LI, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Vice President of the Peking Medical Union College will give an
opening keynote speech and Professor Harvey Fineberg, President of the Institute of Medicine of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences will give a
closing keynote speech.
