The final event of the European Commission-funded project RESIN – Climate Resilient Cities and Infrastructures will take place on 9th October 2018 in Brussels.

The aim of the Conference is to review and discuss ways in which urban agriculture can contribute to achieving sustainable cities.

As urban populations continue to increase it is essential to consider ways of reducing their impact in terms of use of natural resources, waste production and climate change.

The increasing number of people in cities requires new strategies to supply the necessary food with limited provision of land and decreasing resources. This will become more challenging unless innovative solutions for growing and distributing food in urban environments are considered.

The scale of modern food production has created and exacerbated many vulnerabilities and the feeding of cities is now infinitely more complex. As such the food system cannot be considered secure, ethical or sustainable.

In the last few years, there has been a rapid expansion in initiatives and projects exploring innovative methods and processes for sustainable food production. The majority of these projects are focused on providing alternative models that shift the power back from the global food system to communities and farmers improving social cohesion, health and wellbeing. It is therefore not surprising that more people are looking towards urban farming initiatives as a potential solution.

These initiatives have demonstrated that urban agriculture has the potential to transform our living environment towards ecologically sustainable and healthy cities. Urban agriculture can also contribute to energy, natural resources, land and water savings, ecological diversity and urban management cost reductions.

The impact urban agriculture can have on the shape and form of our cities has never been fully addressed. How cities embed these new approaches and initiatives, as part of new urban developments and a city regeneration strategy is critical.

The Urban Agriculture conference will address these challenges and search for new solutions.

“Recent trends in climate sciences, adaptation and mitigation” is the title of the SISC Sixth Annual Conference, taking place on October 17th-19th, 2018 at the Scientific Campus of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Venezia-Mestre, Italy.

The Conference aims at connecting leading scientists, researchers, economists, practitioners, business leaders, and policy makers, whose activities are focused on different aspects of climate change, its impacts and related policies.

The Conference is an important interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of new advances and research results in the fields of science and management of climate change.

Topics of interest include:

– Global carbon and other biogeochemical cycles and feedbacks
– Future global climate: scenario-based projections and near-term information
– Polar climate
– Paleoclimate
– The Earth’s energy budget, climate feedbacks, and climate sensitivity
– Weather and climate extreme events in a changing climate
– Linking global to regional climate change
– Mitigation pathways compatible with near- to long-term goals
– Demand, services and social aspects of mitigation
– National and sub-national policies and institutions
– Innovation, technology development and transfer
– Emissions trends and drivers
– Climate change in the Italian Mountains and the Mediterranean Region (NextData project)
– Climate services: role, application, value, challenges and opportunities for market development
– Challenges for climate change adaptation in the post Paris world

The conference 23-25 October in Norrköping, Sweden, welcomes all who work on climate change adaptation, within the fields of science, in local communities, governments and municipal administration, in ministries and national authorities, politics, businesses, industry and NGOs.

Programme
Full programme is now available. We present keynote speakers and a wide range of thematic sessions. Representatives from all levels of Nordic society will discuss the concrete actions needed to overcome the most important challenges for climate adaptation.

The International Research Conference is a federated organization dedicated to bringing together a significant number of diverse scholarly events for presentation within the conference program. Events will run over a span of time during the conference depending on the number and length of the presentations.

The ICCCGW 2018: 20th International Conference on Climate Change and Global Warming aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Climate Change and Global Warming. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Climate Change and Global Warming.
