The fact that the environmental and climatic
conditions on Earth are changing at a significant rate is undeniable.
The contribution of human activities to these changes and the role
that human activities may play in mitigating these changes are the
subjects of debate. The recent discussions on the mandatory reduction
of the emission of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and the associated
socio-economic dislocations bring these issues to the forefront. The
purposes of this workshop are to provide exposures to ongoing research
activities on environmental and climatic changes in and in the
international scene and to foster a dialogue on the challenges and
opportunities in this line of research.
2000年起,愛麗絲又投入一項新的事業:她受法國「羅浮宮複合體」(Louvre
Complex)裝飾藝術博物館主任大衛.威爾夫人(Mme. Helene David-Weill)的邀請,在博物館後方經營一座可容納330人的餐廳。
這對愛麗絲這位美國人來講,可算是莫大的榮耀。由美國人來告訴法國人怎麼飲、怎麼食?這幾乎是「天方夜譚」啊!
