Vale Stephen Schneider
We have been very saddened to hear the news of Stephen Schneider’s death. Just over two weeks ago Stephen delivered a keynote address at the 2010 International Climate Change Adaptation Conference at the Gold Coast. Stephen had an innate ability to engage, inform and challenge people about the reality of climate change and the urgency of the need to respond. Stephen’s contribution to this field of research has been extraordinary and beyond compare, as has his level of personal commitment to influencing and inspiring response to climate change.
