This is a UEA-only event to internally showcase some of UEA's latest climate change research and impact across our PhD, Post-Docs, Faculty and Staff. We begin with lunch and a poster show featuring the many UEA posters already prepared for Planet Under Pressure and other Conferences (please bring your posters along to share with your colleagues). Then we have talks on the latest research highlights from climate change researchers at the Norwich Business School, ENV, DEV, Psychology and MED, all followed by roundtable discussions. Bob Watson will close with the Blue Planet Prize Laureates' UNEP paper prepared in advance of Rio+20.
