The 5th CMAS international research meeting concluded in Jakarta, Indonesia, with a range of important outcomes. Attended by researchers from 12 universities from across the Pacific Rim, it seemed to be the consensus that CMAS was poised for its next stage of development.
The two day team meeting was followed by a further two day workshop focussing on Indonesia and Climate Change. Opened by the Vice-President of Indonesia, Professor Boediono in his palace, the meeting closed with the announcement by the Vice-Rector of the University of Indonesia that it would establish a Research Centre on Climate Change within three months.
