A Symposium addressing one of the most challenging issues of our time: Climate Change
Climate change is one of the most pervasive and threatening issues of our time, with far-reaching impacts in the twenty-first century. Climate change is expected to have unprecedented implications on where people can settle, grow food, build cities, and rely on functioning ecosystems for the services they provide. In many places, temperature changes and sea-level rise are already putting ecosystems under stress and affecting human well-being.
Academics, researchers, policy makers and representatives from NGOs and business will share their views and practical ideas on the matter on Wednesday 3rd of April 2019 at The American College of Greece premises, at Agia Paraskevi, from 15.00 – 21.00
The symposium aims at offering the participants – and primarily students from both public and private educational tertiary institutions – the opportunity to be exposed to the views and practical ideas of renowned and inspiring professionals from business, NGOs and the academia. The Symposium will include a panel discussion with an interactive Q&A session, workshops, an open to the public photo contest and an exhibition of Deree student projects.
