Early Career Researchers’ (ECR) Sustainability Training School (STS) Global
Institute for Global Sustainable Development (IGSD) in partnership with the EUTOPIA consortium
Space 43, Scarman Conference Centre
Building upon the success of last year's ECR STS 1.0 in June 2023, this event marks a significant milestone for the Institute for Sustainable Development (IGSD).
Our aim is to build a vibrant research culture at Warwick by facilitating impactful networking, innovative skills training, and collaborative research environments.
Our main goal is to empower a new generation of researchers with the transdisciplinary skills necessary to address the complex challenges of sustainable development.
PROGRAMME AND PARTICIPATION
The theme of the ECR STS 2.0 is ‘Water Security and Resilience’, and it directly addresses a wide spectrum of challenges urban and regional communities are phasing across the Global South and the Global North. We are looking for contributions that would explore conceptual approaches, tools, models, and case-studies that would focus one or more of the following topics:
· Inequalities related to water security.
· Water for ecosystems and environmental management.
· Water, sanitation, and health (WASH) challenges across the Global South.
· Water-related hazards (i.e. pluvial and fluvial flooding, flash flooding etc).
· Place-based ideas to enhance the resilience of communities in the Global South & North.
· Climate change and the impact on water security and environmental ecosystems.
· Urban and regional adaptation to climate change, with a focus on water security.
· Monitoring and evaluation of climate change adaptation actions.
