Cambridge Zero Research Symposia: Working Globally

During this Michaelmas Term, Cambridge Zero is organising a second series of Virtual Research Symposia, to highlight all the exciting and ground-breaking research on climate change, net-zero and zero-carbon solutions happening across the University of Cambridge. The aim of the series of eight events is to help build and strengthen our internal Cambridge Zero research community, and to encourage new connections and collaborations. This term in particular, we also want to highlight important Cambridge research contributions in the run-up to the COP26 UN Climate Summit in November.

The Symposia will take place on Wednesday afternoons throughout the term, with each week focused on a different theme, with Keynote Speakers and Early Career Researchers.

Keynote Speakers:

• Dr Ronita Bardhan, "Climate Adaptation & Urbanism"
• Prof Mizan Khan, "Climate adaptation: background, current challenges and the role of University-generated knowledge"
• Dr David Mfitumukiza, "Climate Change Adaptation from Indigenous People and Local Communities (IPLCs) – preserving the knowledge and scaling up the global implementation of nature-based solutions"

Early Career Researcher Presentations:

• Qi Ruona, "Mongolian Traditional Ecological Knowledge and its Adaptation to Climate Change in China: A Cultural and Legal perspective"
