Welcome to the last round of this dialogue being run concurrently with the 18th Conference of the Parties (COP18) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) currently underway in Doha, Qatar.

Weather patterns are changing in many parts of the world and many have experienced extreme weather events in new locations, at unusual times of the year or with increased severity.

This is the focus of this first thread of this round where we urge you to share your experiences on the following important question:
Is there evidence of a change in the severity and frequency of extreme weather and
climate events in your region? Has this led to changes in behavior?

We look forward to hearing about your experiences and observations.
