This book comprises selected papers presented during the International Conference "Global Environmental Change: Challenges for Science and Society in South-Eastern Europe" held 19-21 May 2008 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The conference was organised by the Austrian Science and Research Liaison Office Sofia and financed by the Federal Ministry of Science and Research (bmwf) of the Republic of Austria in the framework of its SEE science cooperation initiative and was additionally supplemented by two other funding sources.

The conference goal was to assess recent knowledge on global environmental change and related impacts in countries of the Balkan and the neighbouring south-eastern European region.

"Global Environmental Change: Challenges for Science and Society in South-Eastern Europe" begins with an Introduction and four keynote chapters giving a more general perspective of the conference topics. The chapters encompass results from studies on climate change, land use change, changes in the carbon and water cycles, air quality, etc. Beyond the work of scientists and actions of governments, civil society has a major stake in dealing with environmental changes including actions to address, resulting impacts and to exploit new opportunities.
