HOST

WEEK 1 – CLIMATE CHANGE AND WINE – IMPACTS AND CHALLENGES

• Introduction to Porto Protocol
• Climate Change & Wine

Climate Change and its short to long term impact on the wine industry, we will explain the climate change phenomenon, how it manifests itself in the wine industry as we speak and its medium to long term consequences for viticulture.

Explore how different regions are facing the Climate Changes

• Sharing first hand experiences
