This event emphasizes the importance of new forms of communication and collaboration for addressing global environmental problems. Acquiring, managing and applying knowledge are crucial steps in ensuring that change is conceived and implemented on both regional and society-wide scales. Publicly accessible Web applications such as the Media Watch on Climate Change, today released by the ECOresearch Network in a significantly extended version (see URL below), are a piece in the puzzle to increase transparency, create shared meaning and support sustainable processes. www.ecoresearch.net/climate To help users access topical and relevant information, the Media Watch on Climate Change provides a continuously updated account of online media coverage on climate change and related issues. The portal aggregates, filters and visualizes environmental content from the Web sites of various stakeholders: 150 Anglo-American news media sites, blogs, environmental organizations, and the corporate sector. The user manual at www.ecoresearch.net/climate/user-manual contains a detailed description of the portal's search functionality, trend charts and visual exploration features. We look forward to your feedback!
