The Symposium will involve researchers in the field of climate change in the widest sense, not only from traditional climate science, but also from the fields of environment, human geography, business and economics, arts, administration and media studies. It will focus on the role of climate change research and projects in fostering climate action, and will contribute to the further development of this fast-growing field.

Many universities across the world perform state-of-the-art research on matters related to climate change, both in respect of mitigation, and adaptation. Yet, as shown by the latest 21st Conference of the Parties of the UN Convention on Climate Change (COP 21), held in Paris in December 2015, there is much room for improvements in the role played by universities in the negotiations and in influencing decision-making on a matter of such a global importance.

There are unfortunately relatively few events where a multidisciplinary overview of university-based research efforts and projects on climate change can be show cased, and where researchers from across the spectrum of the natural and social sciences have had the opportunity to come together to discuss research methods, the results of empirical research or exchange ideas about on-going and future research initiatives focusing on climate change mitigation and adaptation.

It is against this background that the 2nd Symposium “Universities and Climate Change” is being organised by Manchester Metropolitan University, Queen Mary University of London (UK), and HAW Hamburg, Germany, under the auspices of the International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP).

Aims

The aims of the Symposium are as follows:

  1. to provide researchers at universities from across the world performing research on issues pertaining climate change with an opportunity to display and present their works and research projects;
  2. to foster the exchange of information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of research projects, especially successful initiatives and good practice;
  3. to discuss methodological approaches and projects which aim to offer a better understanding of climate change across society and economic sectors and;
  4. to network the participants and provide a platform so they can explore possibilities for further cooperation.
