 The IAEA's 62nd General Conference will start on Monday, here at the agency's headquarters in Vienna, Austria. It brings together over 2,000 participants from most of the IAEA's 170 member states and major players from the nuclear community. The General Conference is the largest gathering of all our member states. They meet to review the agency's program and budget and to consider resolutions in key areas. We meet once a year in this forum. Many issues are discussed and, most importantly, this is where all the member states can make decisions based on recommendations from our Board of Governors. During the conference, over 50 side events will showcase different aspects of the agency's work, including a two-day scientific forum. Scientific Forum is an event which is held every year on the margins of the General Conference and this year is about climate change. We are going to see scientists and policymakers explaining about nuclear techniques and how they can help address this major challenge of our time.
