Modern societies establish socio-economic or industrial metabolisms to supply the need of their inhabitants. In this perspective sustainability can be taken as an overall concept to maintain the socio-economic metabolism in the long run, e.g., sustainable use of resources and energy, impacts of products and processes on climate, climate change impacts on value chains etc.

Although climate change is regarded as a critical issue and sound scientific knowledge is needed in order to address the problem in a holistic way, there is a paucity of events focusing on the different aspects of climate change. Therefore, an internet-based (and therefore largely CO2-neutral) scientific event concerned with approaches, methods, strategies, and other types of action needed in order to cope with the challenge of climate change, is a welcome development. It is on the basis of this perceived need that the Conference "Climate 2008/ Klima 2008" is being organised.

Venue: United States, Hawaii, Waikoloa

The Minitrack on Information Systems and Sustainable Development at the 42nd Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences emphasizes the significant synergies that exist between information systems and sustainability research from an organizational as well as a technical perspective. Collaboration and cross-fertilization between these domains can be mutually beneficial and present unique, timely and socially relevant ‘real-world’ research opportunities as well as viable public sources of empirical ecological information for interdisciplinary research and application.

The Energy and Environment Track at the 9th International Conference on Business Informatics (WI-2009) focuses on two major influences increasingly changing energy markets and their value chains: Liberalization, which is particularly driven by European regulation ("legal unbundling"), and decentralized, regenerative power generation in order to meet the political aims regarding climate change. These changes affect market participants and their IT infrastructure.
