Future Earth Days 2016

Date: October 04, 2016

The first "Future Earth Days" will be open to all, but targeted particularly at the French community on global change research for sustainability. The meeting aims are to inform on Future Earth’s vision, ambition and activities and to attract new interest and participation.

The programme will highlight four topics relevant to our Knowledge-Action Networks: food-water-energy nexus, natural assets, oceans, and cities. Participants will have the chance to learn more about Future Earth, the structure and the progress of the respective Knowledge-Action Networks, and the various opportunities to get involved. Each session will include presentations of French and international experts in the field, followed by discussions in plenary. A poster session will offer the opportunity for participants to present their research related to Future Earth topics.

Speakers will include, inter alia:
