Our Critical Decade for Climate Action Conference showcases cutting-edge, evidence-based ideas and critically evaluates opportunities and challenges for climate action now.
The Tyndall Centre and the University of East Anglia invite you to join our conference, participate in early-career masterclasses and poster showcases, and come along to our post-conference party to celebrate 25 years of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. Our conference spans across four cross-cutting interdisciplinary questions over three days:
- What are the emergent and urgent transitions in our critical decade?
- How can climate action align with Paris commitments?
- What are the barriers and enablers to delivering climate action at scale?
- How to build and sustain coalitions for climate action?
We plan to produce a Collection of Publications for Climate Resilience and Sustainability that contains research articles, reviews, interdisciplinary perspectives, and conference report.
Speakers include:
- Prof. Goneri de Cozannet, French Geological Survey and French Climate Change Committee, Haut conseil pour le climat
- Prof. Daniela Jacob, Director of Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS)
- Nigel Topping, Ambition Loop and former UN High Level Champion COP26 and UK Climate Change Committee
