Climate conversations at SLU
Last changed: 28 November 2022
SLU Global and the future platforms are organising a serie of climate conversations. There will be webinars open for anyone to join and some for SLU-staff only. Please see updated events below.
Background
In 2021 and 2022, IPCC will launch its sixth assessment report, presenting the current scientific knowledge on the physical science basis, mitigation, impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. The first part by Working group 1, got a lot of attention in Sweden and globally when it was released summer 2021. The last IPCC assessment report came in 2014 and provided the scientific basis for the Paris Agreement.
SLU Global and SLU Future Food, SLU Future Forests, SLU Future One Health and SLU Urban Futures take the launch of the IPCC reports as an opportunity to increase the scientific conversation about climate change across disciplines at SLU, with a series of webinars for SLU-staff, as well as webinars open for everyone interested.
