Proceedings of a seminar focusing on planetary emergencies,
followed in a multidisplinary approach since 1980 by permanent
monitoring panels.
The Erice International Seminars are multidisciplinary seminars
attended by over 100 eminent participants from all fields of
science. Each year, a few scientific issues are selected and
experts are invited to present contrasting views during the plenary
multidisciplinary sessions of the seminar. General debates soon
follow. These sessions offer a unique opportunity for specialists
to broaden their perspectives after being confronted with ideas and
suggestions from high level scientists in complementary domains of
science. Associated workshops allow the experts to further refine
and process the ideas evoked during the seminar. This year's topics
are focused on the World Energy Crisis and more specifically on the
future of nuclear power, the sustainability of biofuels and nuclear
waste. On Global Monitoring of the Planet we have focused on the
climate change issue and specifically on the theoretical basis for
model calculations, on vector-borne and air-borne particulates
disseminating diseases and the crisis in internet security. A full
day session was devoted to the Disarmament and Proliferation
Regime, in collaboration with the Government of Italy and
international institutions.
Proceedings of the 45th Session of the International Seminars on
Nuclear War and Planetary Emergencies held in Erice, Sicily. This
Seminar has again gathered, in 2012, over one hundred scientists
from 43 countries in an interdisciplinary effort that has been
going on for the last 31 years, to examine and analyze planetary
problems which had been followed up, all year long, by the World
Federation of Scientists' Permanent Monitoring Panels.
This was the first of a number of seminars dealing with one of the
most complex of the new challenges in the 21st century, which call
for the participation of a broad range of experts. Eminent
economists, decision-makers, defence specialists, political
analysts and sociologists presented their views and participated in
the debates. In the wake of the dramatic event of 11 September
2001, the Afghanistan war and the resurgence of terrorist acts on
all the continents, a host of issues were reconsidered and the role
of science and technology was reassessed. The 27th Session was
primarily oriented toward the definition of the new types of
confrontation, and the identification of various factors and issues
that gave rise to them and global trends.The proceedings have been
