Yet, although much is written and spoken about climate change at scientific circles, little information filters through other levels.Since much can be gained by using scientific information to foster the debate on climate change at schools and universities across Europe, the "World Climate Teach-In Day" will be organized, to held on the 4^th June 2010, one day before the World Environment Day, a traditional date in the world environment calendar."
