Overview

Join us on 3rd and 4th July to learn more about Exeter's world leading climate research and help shape the future development of the Global Systems Institute in this critical decade for the climate.

Engage with groundbreaking research spanning diverse disciplines from environmental science and engineering to economics and social policy. Gain insights from renowned thought leaders and connect with peers, exploring potential collaborations that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Showcase your research and exchange ideas with fellow attendees during poster sessions dedicated to highlighting latest discoveries and innovations.

Day 1 of the conference will showcase GSI’s leading climate research areas such as the Global Carbon Budget and the recently launched Global Tipping Points Report. Day 2 will be interactive with workshops exploring areas such as climate engineering, planetary health, climate justice, climate change and water, positive tipping points, climate change and ecosystems and co-production. To help showcase your current research, we are inviting you to bring a poster along to display throughout the event. Please indicate your interest in submitting a poster on registration.

Come and share your insights, findings, and innovative solutions with a diverse audience passionate about driving positive change on a global scale.

Responsible Climate Intervention

Emerging issues in Climate Change and Health: The role of ecosystems

Climate change has wide ranging impacts on human health and wellbeing. In this session, we will explore the role of ecosystems in mediating impacts and discuss future directions in research. What is the impact of green space on mortality from urban heat? How will changes in climate impact on risks from pathogens in coastal waters? How can we better inform policymakers of the potential risks (and benefits) of climate change on health? How can changes in food systems be sustainable for health and the environment? Join us for a mixture of short talks, a round table and a world café to explore this topic and the emerging University strategy on Climate Change and Health

Climate Justice

Case studies grounded on fieldwork and experience of (in) justice:

• Inequality and smart cities
• Adaptations and narratives of heatwaves: lessons from Nepal and the Global South

Dangerous climate change has arrived: now what?
