ESCC 2008 is envisioned to continue, support, and encourage the world’s attention to the very pressing global issues of energy security and climate change. It will be a venue that will provide an intellectual exchange between members of the academe, industrial sectors, research institutions, multilateral and bilateral agencies, non-governmental organizations, government institutions, and policy makers from all over the world. Oral paper presentations will be the attractions of this conference.
