Event details
Information
How do we achieve a flourishing future for a projected 9-11 billion people as an integral part of a life-sustaining Earth system?
Researchers are invited to co-create networked, global-scale solutions to address this question. The outputs from this exciting two-day event will provide the focus for the transformative projects to be developed by the Global Systems Institute through seed funding, partnership engagement and bids for external funding.
As a new institute attendees will be shaping the distinctive approach of the GSI by uniting trans-disciplinary groups of researchers to look beyond single ‘environmental’ issues to a truly systemic view of coupled global changes in the human social and economic sphere and the biosphere.
The workshops include:
- Post-Paris Climate Science: informing action in a complex system
- How can we transform the land to a carbon sink providing multiple benefits?
- Achieving sustainable rapid urbanisation
- The role of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in ensuring sustainable development and a better future?
- Earth System plastics
- Circular Economy in Business: Possibilities, Paradoxes and Challenges
- Interdisciplinary approaches to tackling antimicrobial resistance
- Global citizen engagement: Who to engage with, why and how?
- Investing in the future – how can GSI support development of effective Green Finance initiatives?
- Towards Excellence in Engaging Teaching in the GSI
- Anarchism, climate change and the problem of scale
- Humans meet technology meet systems change
- Revolutions that Made the Earth
A list of all the confirmed workshops to date with detailed descriptions is available here.
