The year 2007 was a special one for many international environmental organizations, as well as for the wider climate change scientific community. This was so thanks, in particular, to the successful approval of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) co-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, which clearly categorized climate change as "unequivocal." Thanks also to the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the IPCC and Al Gore in clear recognition of the fact that climate change is an issue with potential implications for world peace. If unabated, climate change will markedly increase the risk of conflicts over prime resources such as water, food, and energy. This in turn may lead to massive population resettlements, including migration to areas that do not have the capacity to shelter, feed, or employ new refugees. In addition, 2007 concluded under the auspicious aegis of the roadmap agreement reached in Bali, Indonesia during the thirteenth session of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This also served as the third meeting of the Parties to the kyotp Protocol. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
