The Alaska Forum on the Environment (AFE) will be held in Anchorage,

AFE is an annual event that brings together scientists, tribal leaders,
government representatives, community members, Native and environmental
organizations, industry, and other sectors to focus on important and
timely environmental issues. Topics for discussion at AFE include solid
waste, drinking water, oil and gas, alternative energy, environmental
justice, contaminants, subsistence/traditional food, and rural

This year's AFE will include a focus on climate change in the North. The
forum's three-day Climate Change Track will feature keynote lectures,
panel discussions, and workshops on climate change as it relates to
polar bears, ocean acidification, permafrost thaw and carbon release,
aviation impacts, techniques to reduce emissions, impacts to subsistence
resources, and the intersection of science, economics, and policy.
