The Aarhus University sponsored conference aimed at creating dialogue and knowledge transfer between the many conference participants and according to head of conference Professor Ellen Margrethe Basse Beyond Kyoto was very successful in doing so:

"I am very pleased with the outcome of this conference, which will undoubtedly contribute significantly to the future climate debate not to mention deliver substantial inputs to COP15"

In a unique way the heads of conference theme sessions have delivered 7 important statements from Beyond Kyoto. "The 7 Aarhus Statements on Climate Change" was presented at the end of the conference and on Monday the Aarhus Statements will be forwarded to a series of prominent Danish ministers including Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Minister for Climate and Energy Connie Hedegaard.

• Climate Policy: All sectors of society must be involved in future climate solutions

• Biodiversity and Ecosystems: Biodiversity must be an integrated part of the general mitigation and adaptation effort

• Agriculture and Climate Change: We must increase agricultural productivity to use less water and land

• Nanotechnology Solutions: Nanotechnology will lead us to the next industrial revolution and provide the technological breakthroughs in developing sustainable energy solutions

• Citizens and Society: The COP15 should include the commitments of the Aarhus Convention and include incentives for empowering participation of the citizens

• The Arctic: Ensure a sustainable development in collaboration with local population in affected areas

• Integrated Energy Solutions: Establish a new carbon currency which directly stimulates use of new fossil free technologies
