Since 1995, the Open Meetings of the Human Dimensions research community have grown into the world's largest international science conference dealing with the social aspects of global environmental change. They help to determine the state-of-the-art of human dimensions research, outlining new research agendas, theoretical frameworks and methodologies. Identifying cutting edge research themes within the science-practice nexus, the Open Meeting also serves to promote the enhanced policy relevance of social science on global change. A truly international and interdisciplinary group of over 1000 scientists, journalists, government officials, decision-makers as well as leading representatives from the private sector, key institutes, international organisations and NGOs attended the 7th Open Meeting at the UN Campus in Bonn, Germany.
