In June 2023, Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, in cooperation with the South and West African climate centres of excellence SASSCAL and WASCAL, the International Centre for Water Resources and Global Change (ICWRGC) and the University of Würzburg. The call for papers remains open until 10 April 2023.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, which must be tackled through joint efforts at global, national and local levels. One of the objectives in safeguarding the livelihoods of future generations is to draw on global knowledge of the processes and solutions for dealing with the uncertainties of climate change.
From 12 to 16 June, African and German researchers will meet at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences to exchange their expertise on ensuring sustainable climate resilience, with a view to safeguarding people’s livelihoods and preserving ecosystems on both continents. The aim of the Climate Forum is to promote the exchange of expertise on the interplay between global and local climate systems on the African and European continents. Furthermore, local measures for adapting to the impacts of climate change are to be integrated into the regional environmental context. The Climate Forum will provide an interdisciplinary platform to discuss the impacts of climate change and identify synergies for future measures with societal implications, with a view to ensuring sustainable resource use and energy supply and creating decent living conditions for future generations in Africa and Europe. The forum will bring together key stakeholders from universities and research institutions, including young researchers from Africa and Germany, to exchange knowledge and find solutions for a more climate-resilient world.
