The Global Forum will convene at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, USA and will involve 400 young professionals and college age students from various national and international Universities, Colleges, and Civic Organizations. The three-day event will focus on Global Warming and Climate Change. The participants will examine the problem of global warming while focusing on existing countermeasures, implementation strategies, and accomplishments. The program will also include discussions about the weaknesses and the strengths of these measures and their implementation strategies.
