NASA to attend Copenhagen climate meeting
Copenhagen, Denmark (UPI) Dec 7, 2009 The U.S. space agency says its Earth science research and educational programs are in Copenhagen, Denmark, for this week's U.N. climate change conference. The 12-day United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change began Monday and NASA is one of several U.S. government agencies supporting the first-ever U.S. Center -- an outreach initiative housed in Copenhagen's Bella Conference Center. "Organized by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Center will host more than 60 events during the conference," NASA said in a statement. "The center's meeting room is a 100-seat auditorium where U.S. and international leaders in the fight against climate change will headline presentations on a wide range of critical initiatives, policies, and scientific research." The center's reception room features displays and videos using data from U.S. satellites, including NASA's fleet of Earth-observing research spacecraft, officials said, noting NASA scientists also will be on hand to discuss agency research and programs with visitors.
