*CORDEX 2013: WCRP-IPCC-EU International Conference on Regional Climate*

The World Climate Research Programme (*WCRP* 
<http://www.wcrp-climate.org/>), the European Commission (*EC* 
<http://ec.europa.eu/index_en.htm>) and the Intergovernmental Panel on 
Climate Change (*IPCC* <http://www.ipcc.ch/>) are proud to hold this 
international conference on regional climate science.

*HIGH LEVEL SESSION AND STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUE *

The first day of the meeting will feature two important pre-conference 
events.

*A High-Level Session *with the participation of the European 
Commissioners for Research & Innovation *Máire Geoghegan-Quinn *and for 
Climate Action *Connie Hedegaard *together with *Rajendra K. Pachauri*, 
Chair of the IPCC where the key findings from the IPCC Working Group I 
Contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report Climate Change 2013: The 
Physical Science Basis will be presented by *Thomas Stocker *and *Qin 
Dahe*, Co-Chairs of *IPCC Working Group I * 
<https://www.ipcc-wg1.unibe.ch/index.html>

This will be followed by a *Stakeholder Dialogue *where high level 
panellists will discuss how science-based regional climate information 
can best serve the needs of regional decision-makers. This will be 
featured by two keynote presentations conveyed by:

*Chris Field*, Co-Chair of*IPCC Working Group II * 
<http://www.ipcc-wg2.gov/>

*Michel Jarraud*, Secretary-General of the *WMO * 
<http://www.wmo.int/pages/index_en.html>

*REGIONAL CLIMATE CONFERENCE PROGRAM *

The second segment of the conference over the following three days is 
organised around daily themes. Each day will consist of plenary 
presentations followed by parallel and poster sessions. The poster 
sessions will have their own dedicated time for viewing thus avoiding 
overlap with plenary and parallel sessions.

*Daily Themes *

. Evaluation of *CORDEX * <http://wcrp-cordex.ipsl.jussieu.fr/>Regional 
Downscaling Present Climate and Future Change
