The Lord Browne of Madingley, the Patron of the 1st Congress, characterized this event as, "…very timely and important".
The effects of climate change, as well as the necessary means to prevent it, are important themes, which are of great concern to Denmark and the Danish Government.
Thus, from a Danish point of view, "The Second International Scientific and Business Congress on Protesting the Climate – A World Joint Strategy", constitutes a very exiting and interesting initiative", says Mr Ole Lønsmann Poulsen, Ambassador, Royal Danish Embassy in India.
