The 10th International Carbon Dioxide Conference will be held in Interlaken, Switzerland, from 21-25 August 2017.
The focus of ICDC10 is on past and future changes in carbon dioxide and the carbon cycle, and their interactions and links to climate and human activities. The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists from different disciplines to work towards an integrated view on the global cycle of carbon in the Earth System. Spatial scales considered range from local and regional towards global synthesis, temporal scales from hours to millennia. Periods addressed include the contemporary, industrial, and future, as well as the last millennia, glacial/interglacial, and stadial/interstadial periods.

History
ICDC10 is the next conference in the series initiated by Hans Oeschger, Uli Siegenthaler, and Charles David Keeling in 1981 in Bern with follow-up conferences every four years, starting in Switzerland (1985), Germany (1989), France (1993), Australia (1997), Japan (2001), USA (2005), Germany (2009) and China (2013).
Conference themes
The conference will be organized around themes and "Grand Challenges" that integrate across different reservoirs, ecosystems and disciplines. The overarching goal is to elucidate how human activities, including fossil fuel emissions and land use, influence the coupled carbon-climate system.
Conferences themes established by the Scientific Steering Committee are:
1) The Contemporary Carbon Cycle
1.1) Trends, Variability, and Time of Emergence of Human Impacts
1.2) Emerging Approaches and Novel Techniques in Observations
2) The Paleo Perspective: Patterns, Processes and Planetary Bounds
3) Biogeochemical Processes
3.1) Processes Understanding and Human Impacts
3.2) Coping with Complexity: from Process Understanding to Robust Models
4) Scenarios of the Future Earth and Steps toward Long-term Earth System Stability
