Latest Events and Conferences
The Tyndall Centre holds and contributes to regular events and presentations on climate change issues throughout the country. Through these events we seek to engage with other researchers, key stakeholders such as business leaders, policy advisors, NGOs, agencies and the media as well as the public in general. We also use the events as opportunities to share our research results, promote discussion and raise awareness of climate change issues and potential solutions.

| Climate change information in search of decision-makers: Why do managers (not) consider climate change in their long-term planning projects? |
Over the last years the scientific community published a lot of information about climate change, in order to help organizations to adapt to climate change. There is however, little research on the effective practices of managers with respect to climate change information, and little evidence that managers consider climate change information in their long-term projects when those projects are sensitive to future changes in climate. |
