Participation of ICSU ROLAC at the General Assembly of ICSU in Rome, Italy

ICSU ROLAC and the Regional Committee participated in the General Assembly of ICSU in Rome, Italy.

During this Assembly, the ICSU members made a number of important decisions that will influence the directions and conduct of international science for the benefit of society over the next few years.

One of this decision was the establishment of a mayor initiative which aims to effectively deliver solution-oriented research on global environmental change for sustainability. This new international collaboration effort,  will provide global coordination for science to respond to the most pressing societal and environmental challenges.

At the end of the Assembly, the new Officers and members of the Executive Board were elected for the next three years.  The President-elect, Professor Gordon McBean from Canada, is an internationally recognized meteorologist and climate change expert.
