CLIMATE2020 worldwide online climate conference

(
Academic institution
)
#SDGAction43517
    Description
    Description
    The objective of the on-line conference is to convey the most recent research results on climate change and its impacts, as well as to provide especially early career researchers from all over the world with the opportunity to present their findings at a global level. This event fills a knowledge gap in respect of thematic discussions on climate change mitigation and adaptation, which will be performed both in an integrative and interactive way. The conference also offers you insights on numerous climate projects, initiatives and strategies, which are currently being implemented on the five continents and considered to be latest examples of worldwide climate change adaptation and mitigation activities. The best thing: You are only a mouse-click away from this event! You can easily log in over the Internet no matter where you are actually located: in your office, at school, university or on your smartphone on your way home!
    Expected Impact

    Supporting SDGs 4 and 13, the unique open access conference offers free access to quality research, allows networking, exchange and dialogue across borders, professions and ages. It is especially helpful to those who may seldom benefit from participating in similar presence events due to budget or other constraints.
