3 Welcome Letter It is our great pleasure to welcome you all to come to Beijing to attend CLIMATE CHANGE BEIJING The Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) and CSIRO, Australia will jointly hold an international conference on climate change, the most important environmental issue of our times. Climate change has the potential to affect many socioeconomic sectors and regions of the world. As we all know, climate is one of the most active and important components of the earth environment. It has major impacts on the global social economy and ecological system. Over the past several decades, extreme climate events took place over many parts of the world. The associated damages and losses to the human society are ever increasing. Therefore, improving the understanding of the climate and climate change is now high on the scientific and political agendas of the international community and governments of most countries. Over the span of three days, the Conference will foster high-level international discussion between climate scientists from around the world. Some of the most important topics to be discussed include: Climate change and variability Oceans Climate modelling and projections Biogeochemistry, carbon cycle, and aerosols Impacts, adaptation and policy Palaeoclimate Extreme events Water cycle and resources This conference is organized by IAP, CAS. Its aim is to collect all the new ideas and research progresses in this field for exchange. We wish you all a good stay in Beijing and benefit from the academic exchange, last but not the least, also have time to visit the historical and cultural sites of the great city.

Plans for future development retain the symmetrical layout of the old city on its north-south axis, extending out into the suburban districts. Beijing has a continental monsoon climate commonly found in the temperate zone. In winter, cold, dry winds blow out of Siberia and Mongolia in the northwest; in summer, warm, moist air currents from the southeast take over. A general change of wind direction occurs in March or April and again in September. Wind velocity in Beijing is comparatively low, averaging 2 meter/second. The average annual rainfall of 630 millimeters is regarded as a generous "heavenly endowment" for North China, which is otherwise predominantly dry and short of rain. The coldest month in Beijing is January, with an average temperature of -5. The hottest month is July, with an average of 32. Rapid temperature increases in the spring are often accompanied by sandstorms, but windless days in that season are wonderfully pleasant. Autumn, though short-lived, is a concentrated stretch of clear, crisp days and patchwork trees.
