Great Decisions Discussion Group 2012
Great Decisions Discussion Group is reconvening for 2012 to explore and discuss topics of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans today. Great Decisions provides background information, current data and policy options for each issue and serves as the focal text for discussion groups. After a short presentation, attendees participate in a lively discussion about the topic of the day.
.
Our first topic for discussion is State of the Oceans.
The world's oceans are essential to life on earth, and are tremendously sensitive to global climate change. What are the consequences of climate change on oceanic factors like biodiversity, sea levels and extreme weather systems? How can the U.S. and its international partners address the emerging challenges to this shared resource?
