2 conferencia de cambio climatico y vino 2008

Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Friday for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change and lay the foundations for counteracting it.

Gore won an Academy Award this year for his film "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary on global warming, and had been widely expected to win the prize. "His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change," the citation said. "He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."

The committee cited the Panel on Climate Change for two decades of scientific reports that have "created an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between human activities and global warming."

Vicepresident Al Gore accepted several months ago the invitation of Pancho Campo to collaborate with The Wine Academy of Spain at the II World Meeting on Climate Change and Wine. The event, that will take place in Barcelona on February 15 and 16 also features the participation of the most important personalities from the wine industry.
