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.

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.

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.

These changes affect market participants and their IT infrastructure.
