The conference is being jointly sponsored by the Finnish Meteorological Service, the World Meteorological Organization, and the IRI. With a focus clearly on the management of climate related risks and opportunities, we believe this forum will provide a chance to review the progress, obstacles and future prospects for effective policy and practice in critical sectors such as agriculture, water resources, public health, and disasters. Attendance will include experts and practitioners in all of these areas. Please consider attending. A conference website has been established at: [1]www.livingwithclimate.fi.
