This workshop aims at the interdisciplinary exploration of climate risks, climate modelling, and the impacts of climate change on society, ecosystems, and economic systems. Potential topics include climate risk assessment and uncertainty, advances in climate modelling techniques, impacts of climate change on society, ecosystems, and economy, measurement and validation techniques, adaptation strategies and policy development, and evaluation of mitigation efforts and effectiveness. We welcome young as well as established researchers and practitioners from a broad range of fields including climate science, risk modelling, social sciences, data science and machine learning, ecology, physics, meteorology, biology, economy; and practitioners from NGOs and government institutions.
The workshop's main goal is to create a collaborative environment where experts can engage in in-depth discussions and propose actionable solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation. We employ an open-design unconference format: The number of talks will be limited in order to enable as many discussions as possible and to foster inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration.
The workshop will take place in Benasque, a beautiful village located in the heart of the Pyrenees. The collaborative environment provided by the Centro de Ciencias in Benasque has proven highly fruitful in earlier unconference-style workshops (see http://benasque.org for more information about previous workshops and the centre facilities).
The workshop will be IN-PERSON.
