Upcoming Events

Please fill out the information in the form linked to show us your interest in participating in Heat Action Day on Sunday June 2nd, 2024. We will use this information to get in contact with you with details on how to plan for the Heat Action Day.

Discussions at WCS 2024 will centre around the theme “Liveable and Sustainable Cities: Rejuvenate, Reinvent, Reimagine”. How do we achieve smart, resilient and regenerative cities now and for future generations? Go to the Programmes section for a first look at our Conference Concept Note, and our Plenary sessions.

The What Works Climate Solutions Summit is a high-level conference for evidence-based climate policy that will take place June 9–12, 2024. It will promote and catalyze synthetic evidence on climate solutions for upcoming climate change assessments – particularly the IPCC’s 7th Assessment Report ─ as well as other forms of scientific policy advice.

The one-hour summit will provide insights from distinguished experts who are at the forefront of efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of extreme heat on the workforce. Through interactive discussions and a thought-provoking panel, participants will explore innovative methodologies to assess risks and adapt operations amid the evolving climate landscape.

SHARE is a free online conference co-hosted by the University of Brighton School of Sport and Health Sciences, Brighton and Sussex Medical School and the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. There will be keynote talks, oral presentations and posters around this year's theme of:

Fast-tracking resilient and environmentally sustainable health systems

Students, academics, researchers, clinical and estates colleagues from any discipline interested in sustainable healthcare are welcome to attend.

The Extreme Heat Workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to assess and advance the state of knowledge on the mechanisms of concurrent, compounding, and record-breaking heat extremes; to identify community needs; and to develop an interdisciplinary framework for evaluating their risks on sectors including public health, energy, and agriculture, with a cross-cutting focus on climate justice.   Register to attend and/or present. Early career researchers may apply for travel support. Early career researcher travel funds application: May 1, 2024 Abstract submission: May 15, 2024 Registration: June 15, 2024

The BeBrit project will culminate with a one-day Extreme Heat Knowledge Exchange and Innovation Event. The aim of the event is to share knowledge, practical innovations and experiences, developments in research and think together about future planning and preparedness for extreme heat.

The objective of the 18th edition is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussions on our current state of knowledge of Mediterranean risks in a climate change context. Different aspects related to monitoring, assessment, diagnosis, prediction, and definition of weather extremes, wildfires, hydro-geological effects, impacts on natural resources, agriculture, health and society, as well as adaptation capacity and preservation strategies for natural and cultural heritage at risk, will be addressed with a multi-sectorial approach. This will be achieved by bringing together scientific experts in the fields of meteorology, hydrology, wildfires, geomorphology, sociology, engineering, cultural heritage conservation, and governmental or private risk management actors.
